Apple iPhone 6 camera to retain 8MP, but increase image quality

Sources familiar with Apple future plan's has suggest that Apple will likely focus on improving the lens system and image quality  of current iPhone 5S 8MP camera, rather than  increasing the megapixel count of its next iPhone smartphone camera.

Previously, we have heard that the iPhone 6 camera may be bumped to a 10 Mega Pixel with a faster F/1.8 aperture (the iPhone 5s is currently sporting an F/2.2 lens) so perhaps the aperture will remain.

Currently, rumors suggest that Apple will use swappable resin lenses for its iPhone 6. Other rumors have suggested optical image stabilization but seeing how Apple is doing some clever gyro-based software tricks in the iPhone 5s to avoid OIS it seems unlikely the company will change its mind in the next flagship.

If Apple indeed retains the 8 Mega Pixel resolution which debuted on the iPhone 4S camera, it will go against the current trend of manufacturer increasing megapixel count in their smartphones. but HTC One's Ultrapixel tech is something maybe Apple put eyes on, creating a more perfect image quality in 8MP range is far better than a worst 13MP shot.

According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo 13 MP sensor shipments are higher than any other resolution - expected to be 65% of all high resolution components by the end of the year. The raise in demand is expected to continue well into 2015. According to Ming-Chi Kuo Sony has a 65.7% share of the market for 13+ MP sensors.

Sony is expected to produce a new 21 MP 1/2.4" sensor for the last quarter of the year. Could it star in the Xperia Z3? It seems likely considering Sony's six month flagship cycle.
