Apple is likely to build a dedicated video signal processor (ISP) for iPhones

Apparently, Apple is developing a Video signal processor Or ISP It is for improving iPhone camera capabilities. An informed source said that Apple is now evaluating this processor. ISP plays an important role in smartphone photography, converting raw photos taken by the camera into high-quality images.

According to A knowledgeable source’s post on XApple is evaluating an internal ISP, and it is claimed that TSMC has this internal ISP Second half of 2026 It leads to mass production. ISP is very important in smartphone photography. This processor processes the raw image data captured by the camera sensor and turns them into a high-quality image by performing various actions.

Apple’s proprietary video signal processor

Video signal processing It includes things like HDR processing, exposure adjustment, image resolution, de-mosaicing, noise reduction, white balance correction, lens skew correction, and more. Currently, Apple relies on Sony’s ISP for its iPhones. However, with an internal ISP, the company will have more control over the entire imaging process and can optimize it specifically for its devices. Of course, the published information has not yet been confirmed by Apple and it is not clear how much of the information from this source is true.

Apple is known for its meticulous approaches to hardware development, so we can expect this new ISP to be a step forward in the company’s camera technology. Apple is currently holding a 2-day photography exhibition called “I Remember You” in Paris, where photos taken by iPhone 15 Pro Max They participate in it.
