"Upcoming smartphones to feature 48MP cameras: iPhone 15 and Google Pixel 8"

Rumors suggest that Apple may upgrade the entire iPhone 15 range with a 48MP camera setup, rather than just the Pro-branded models. This has put a strain on Sony's production capacity, which relies on stacking technology for its CMOS sensors. To handle the increased demand, Sony has reached out to TSMC to handle color filter film for its camera units. TSMC will handle manufacturing elements like the photodiodes and logic layers, while Sony will rely on other companies for back-end manufacturing.
