iPhone 5 news: 13-megapixel camera,CMOS image sensor with HDR Video for the ultra thin iPhone 5



The iPhone 5 is going to be thinner and lighter with a 13 megapixel and estimated to have a 4 inch screen. Apple will have to redesign the entire camera system for the thinner iPhone 5. Sony has a brand-new back-illuminated CMOS image sensor in the works that could be a natural fit for a next-generation iPhone.

This image sensor layers the pixel section containing formations of back-illuminated structure pixels onto chips containing the circuit section for signal processing, which is in place of supporting substrates for conventional back-illuminated CMOS image sensors.

Why does Apple build its products in China?



Why does Apple build its products in China? This is a question that was recently asked in the Republican Presidential candidate debate. The NY Times published an article on Apple and why they choose China as the place to build almost all of its products.

The simple answer is, Apple cannot manufacture products in a timely manner in the United States. China has cities of factories that can hire 3,000 workers that live in a dorm per day or 8,700 Industrial Engineers in two weeks, in the United States that would take about 9 months to do.

The iPhone originally was supposed to have a plastic screen, until Steve Jobs prototype was scratched when he carried it in his pocket. He demanded a new scratch resistant glass screen and they only had six weeks to produce it. In China they had the man power to get it done, in the United States that is impossible.

Republican Presidential Candidates Discuss Apple Outsourcing to China



The Republican Presidential Debate was held at the North Charleston Coliseum in South Carolina and featured candidates Mitt Romney,Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, and Rick Santorum. A discussion sparked about Apple, when CNN host John King asked the candidates about bringing jobs back to the United States. King specifically focused on the fact that Apple “a breathtakingly important American company” that employs most of its workforce in retail stores, but hires half a million low-paid workers through its Far East suppliers and contract manufacturers that actually assemble its products. Rick Santorum has “a plan in place” to put this strategy to an end, as do other candidates.

Apple, you have all those employees over there, you make all those profits over there. If you want to bring that money back, right now you have to pay 35 percent tax. Under our plan, if you bring it back and invest in the plant equipment here in Charleston – you pay nothing. Put that money to work, invest it and you pay nothing – it’s a powerful incentive.”
