In a recent interview with Wall Street Journal, Sir Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony, accidentally let slip about the much-rumored iPhone 5. Although Steve Job did not release any updates regarding news of a new generation of iPhone but Stringer obviously feels assured enough to plant the rumor. Stinger shared with the publisher that 15 of the Sony's factories in Japan were damaged, and inadvertently mentioned that a camera sensor made in one plant for Apple would be delayed. No official statement has come out from either party but it is safe to assume through Sony chief's undertones that they are building a 8MP image sensor for Apple's iPhone 5. Here's what the Wall Street Journal had wrote:
"Early on, he raised the irony of Sony supplying camera components for Apple devices. It 'always puzzles me,' he said. 'Why would I make Apple the best camera?' It is unclear what devices he was talking about as Sony isn't known to supply key camera componenets, known as image sensors, to Apple; A Sony spokeswoman declined to comment and an Apple spokesperson couldn't be reached for comment."
So what do you think? Was it mere accident that Stringer decided to let this vital information slip, or did Sony not want to be held responsible for the delay of iPhone 5 announcements?
Simple is best!
