Good for Sony. The iPhone 5's gonna sell over 58 million units before the end of the year, so this should earn them quite a bit

My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Really depends on how many iphones get sold of course. The batteries according to some website cost apple $4. The camera I read last year was somethinf like $12-17.

They are also supplying the battery while Samsung did for the 4S. Apple have also sourced the memory from another company for the 5, while Samsung supplied it for the 4S. Legal battles can be costly in more than one way.

So Sony now is also making battery for iPhone 5?

Yea the battery and the camera.
