Apple have realised that a decent camera is something most look for when purchasing a new Smartphone, and as a result are now revamping iPhone’s camera presumably the 4G version of the iPhone in 2011.

It has been reported that Apple may end soon their contract that they currently have with OmniVision who supply the current camera to the iPhone.

Analyst Ashok Kumar from Rodman and Renshaw has claimed that Apple has now started to reach out to parts suppliers for the 2011 iPhone model and has apparently picked Sony’s 8 megapixel camera chip for the 2011 device, doing away with OmniVision totally. OmniVision will however still supply the 5 megapixel camera for the next generation of iPhone which is expected to be released on June 22nd.

In an attempt to compete with powerful Android devices such as the HTC EVO 4G Apple are now shifting a gear and intention is to completely overhaul the 2011 iPhone model, starting with the camera but with many changes to follow.
