Sony Semiconductor Manufacturing initially entered the market with CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensors in the 1980s before transitioning to CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) technology.
索尼半導體制造最初在1980年代憑藉CCD（電荷耦合器件）圖像傳感器進入市場，隨後轉向CMOS（互補金屬氧化物半導體）技術。
A Verge report indicated Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:AAPL) transition to using Samsung Electronics (OTC:SSNLF) camera sensors for its iPhones as early as 2026, potentially ending Sony's over-decade-long role as the exclusive supplier of iPhone camera sensors.
據《邊緣》報道，蘋果公司（納斯達克：AAPL）可能最早在2026年就會轉向使用三星電子（場外交易：SSNLF）的相機傳感器，從而可能結束索尼作爲iPhone相機傳感器獨家供應商的十多年角色。
Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said upcoming iPhones could feature Samsung's "1/2.6-inch 48MP ultra-wide CMOS image sensors." However, whether Samsung will replace Sony with other camera components remains to be seen.
供應鏈分析師郭明錤表示，即將推出的iPhone可能會配備三星的「1/2.6英寸48MP超廣角CMOS圖像傳感器」。但三星是否會用其他相機元件取代索尼還有待觀察。
In November, Sony reported fiscal second-quarter 2024 sales growth of 3% to $19.44 billion (2.91 trillion Japanese yen), missing the consensus estimate of $19.62 billion. EPS of $0.37 (55.74 yen) beat the consensus estimate of $0.27.
