A website is reporting that Apple's next generation iPhone will feature an improved 3.2-megapixel camera.

Digitimes revealed that OmniVision, a company specialising in image sensors, has beaten rival companies STMicroelectronics and Aptina for orders for the 3.2 megapixel camera modules.

Reports suggest that Apple has also ordered 5-megapixel camera modules for a product to be released later in the year too.

Apple's quest for a better camera has been confirmed by the company who is currently advertising for an iPhone camera project manager who will be tasked with driving 'the design, development and integration of camera modules across iPhone and iPod.'

This has also got tongues wagging regarding the addition of a camera for the iPod.
