Guo Mingyi: Huawei's return is a good thing for consumers, but it forces Apple to step out of its comfort zone and innovate actively.

According to CTOnews.com Sept. 9, Guo Mingyi tweeted on the X platform today that Huawei's return is actually a good thing for consumers, which can force Apple out of its comfort zone and promote its positive innovation.

Guo Mingyi also said that the iPhone 15 series models launched by Apple this year were the first phones in the industry to be equipped with CIS stacks, and without the US ban, Huawei would have been the first to use them as early as 2023, becoming the first mobile phone brand to use stacked image sensors (CIS).

CTOnews.com has previously reported that the new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will use Sony's stackable sensors to expand the dynamic range of imaging with a double-layer (Photodiode + Pixel) crystal pixel architecture (2-Layer Transistor Pixel).

TrendForce Jibang Consulting said that the future upgrade direction will focus on the optimization of CIS structure design (such as the double-layer transistor pixel architecture to be adopted by iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 plus), further improve the performance of photosensitive elements by improving the structure and materials of photosensitive elements, and optimize and upgrade image processing algorithms, through AI algorithms to break through hardware limitations, further improve image clarity, dynamic range, and reduce noise. Improve the imaging quality.
