Apple buys invisage to build its own photographic sensors

The camera has become increasingly important on smartphones. We can see that there has been a great innovation in this regard by practically all the brands on the market. In many cases it acts as a differential factor between some models. Something that looks like it will continue to be so if we look at some of the latest phones that have hit the market. The rear camera gains prominence.

Apple buys InVisage to build its own photographic sensors

Apple has been one of the stars of the year with its new iPhone. Models that have come with a great camera. The American firm seeks to continue maintaining that high level in its cameras. So they have bought InVisage, an American startup that will help them improve even further.

Apple buys InVisage

InVisage is a startup that works with an image sensor called QuantumFilm. This sensor allows to capture more light despite being smaller in size. In addition, the way in which the sensor is integrated is also very important. So this operation leaves us with the feeling that Apple is preparing to start manufacturing its own sensors.

In this way, the American firm can begin to depend less on external providers such as Sony and Samsung. Companies that assemble the majority of iPhone components. So it can mean a notable change in the manufacture of these smartphones.

So it seems that the market trend is for large firms to manufacture their own cameras. Samsung already does it with Isocell, Sony with Exmor RS and now Apple joins the party with the acquisition of InVisage. What do you think about this operation?
