According to Nikkei News, Apple’s iPhone 15 high-end series models to be launched in 2023 will be equipped with Sony’s latest and most advanced image sensor, which can bring better image quality and higher dynamic range.
According to reports, Sony’s “state-of-the-art sensor” nearly doubles the saturation signal level per pixel and is able to capture more light than current sensors. Even in strong backlight environments, it can capture the details of faces very well.
Sony is said to have achieved this through a new semiconductor architecture designed to place photodiodes and transistors on separate substrate layers, resulting in a higher-density layer.
In addition, there have been previous rumors that the iPhone 15 high-end models will have several exclusive features, including the A17 chip, high-speed USB-C interface, more RAM, and an upgraded periscope telephoto lens.

Post-mortem assisted reproductive technology allows people to preserve the germ cells of the deceased to create a baby. But who has the power to dispose of these cells remains a conundrum when there is no way to know what the individual is thinking.
Peter Zhu, 19, tragically passed away in New York in a skiing accident. Before the accident, Peter had registered for body donation, clearly expressing his desire to donate all his organs.
But, at the same time, his parents also wanted to keep his sperm to create a child.
What if no one knew whether Peter wanted a baby or not?
The answer is still vague. At present, in most countries, germ cells and embryos are still not regarded as a kind of property, not subject to the jurisdiction of property laws, and it is difficult for them to be directly inherited by family members.
In Peter’s case, Peter’s parents finally obtained Peter’s sperm with the support of the local court. But even if the child is finally born smoothly, some states in the United States do not legally recognize that a child born through “posthumous conception” is a descendant of the deceased.
According to Shelly Simana, a bioethicist at Stanford University in California, making a “biological will” can be an effective way to avoid this situation:
“Just as we are encouraged to consider organ donation, we should all write down whether we would like to keep and use our germ cells.”
