Apple isn't normally classified as a camera company but they definitely are and that is one area where they are still able to still move the goal post.

Their make some of the world’s best consumer cameras, computer chips, and watches. And they truly excel at all of those. Kinda crazy

At least up to iPhone 7 the camera sensor wasn't made by Apple:

Currently, it seems to be made by Himax Technologies:

They use the same sensors as all the other phones. But I think they are perceived better because on default they apply lots of (destructive) contrast, while other Manufacturers use less to keep more Image Information.

Source? Are other manufactures capturing raw? Or are you saying other manufactures do less DSP?

Himax provides the front-facing camera.

Main rear sensors are still by Sony as far as I know.
