Apple buys up 10′s of millions of LED Flash Components

Apple in recent months has made their move to buy up significant quantities of LED camera flash components making the next generation iPhone (4G) handsets produce a more superior image and video captures in low-light situations.
Sources familiar with Apple’s claim say the electronics maker is seeking allotments of LED camera flash components in the tens of millions for delivery during the 2010 calendar year, meaning future iPhones, and possibly the iPod touch, will most likely be recipients of those parts, due to their sales volume. Those same sources say that Philips’ Lumileds Lighting sector is believed to be the front-runner for Apple’s business and may have already secured the design win.
This is all good news, of course, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. It took two years for Apple to upgrade the iPhone camera, and even now with the 3GS 3.2 megaxpixels and video recording, the camera is still a huge waste of time.
