Ok thanks. I was not aware that the rumour was related to this announcement.That’s the rumor.

Very interesting turn of events, if true. Apple can likely do to sensors what it did to CPUs and is doing to baseband chips.
I doubt the 18 unless Apple is further ahead on the sensor than has been made public through leaks or otherwise. The 19 would be a good time for a technology breakthrough, since it'll mark the iPhone's 20th anniversary, but a lot would need to happen to make that possible. I'm excited by the prospect, though, since my iPhone has become indispensable for photography.My thoughts as well. What I'm wondering is when their image sensor will come to fruition and into a shipping iPhone. Clearly not the 17. An iPhone 18, a year later, perhaps? That seems kind of iffy. As far as I know, right now it's just a patent with no first silicon to evaluate. Perhaps an iPhone 19?
I think it’s great that Apple is developing its own sensor, a huge benefit being not needing to rely on Sony for image sensors going forward.
Whether 20 stops of dynamic range can be effectively and beneficially post processed with *today’s* displays, image processing tools, and making prints for hanging on a wall for viewing, is currently (in my mind) debatable. It’ll be interesting to see what Adobe comes up with for image processing tools such as Lightroom. No doubt they’re noodling the possibilities today.
That said… it’s great that Apple has made that breakthrough, which may have future benefits. If the sensor does indeed have less noise, that would be a huge benefit *today* for iPhone photography.
