    I bet that the iphone 5 or 4GS will match that of the Galaxy S 2. 1GB ram 8Mp, Duel core but it will have 4 inch screen.

            I doubt that it will be a 8Mp camera, since it obviously will make the iPhone camera compete with SE own cameras. Doesn't look a smart move.

Please be matured and do homework before make comment to other company.

                        iphone 4 already uses a backlit sensor, it's just a crappy one.

                          let's hope apples dvivers will be superior to se's ones.I mean less chroma noise, noise reduction and sharpening. Arc's camera is not that great.

                                  I'm sure that it's an 8 megapixel sensor, but what I'm not gonna believe that Sony will give the Exmor branded back-lit sensors to apple. . If they do, apple will brag about that they first invented back lit sensors and pretend that iphone 5 will be better than n8. .

                                    Sony, since you got this american (Howard Stringer) for your CEO, you continue to screw up things. First, it was using iTunes for content transfer to your walkmans, now you produce cameras for the worst crooks. You lose your fans, you lose them with every minute. So get rid of that american, and have a CEO from Japan that'll care for you, not just use your potential until you, Sony, are finished as a company! And that'll be real sad knowing what you did in the past and what you're capable of!

                                      Wow nice move...but they should repair something of their phone's ability rather than betting on features, No call drops anymore because of whatever reasons apple,learn how to make your phones to make calls. Then it'd be another great improvements of all iphone generations. Cheers...
