In a recent interview to the Wall Street Journal, Sir Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony accidentally spilled the beans on the iPhone 5 camera. While speaking to Wall Street Journal's Walt Moseberg, Sir Howard Stringer inadvertently let it slip that the iPhone 5 image sensor was being manufactured in one of the 15 factories in Japan which were ravaged by the earthquake.

However, the Sony CEO did not specify whether it will be an 8-megapixel image sensor. Previously in our gallery of expected features in the iPhone 5 we reported an 8-megapixel camera for the device.

Apple employed Omnivision 5-MP and 3.2-MP image sensors in the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS respectively. Apparently Omnivison's 8- megapixel image sensor was not ready for the iPhone 5 which prompted Apple to move towards Sony.

Sony has recently launched the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc that employs a powerful 8 MP camera sensor, which could be supplied to Apple for their latest iPhone. But, it still remains to be seen when will Apple launch the Apple iPhone by the end of this year. According to various reports, Apple may miss its target of launching the much anticipated successor of the iPhone due to part shortages.
