The iPhone 14 series is the anticipated Apple flagship smartphone lineup of this year. However, a new report has revealed some interesting news regarding the iPhone 15 Pro, which is set to launch next year.
According to a 9To5Mac report, known analyst Jeff Pu stated that the Cupertino based giant is apparently in talks with Lante Optics. Lante is expected to be the main supplier of periscope lenses that will be used in the 2023 iPhone lineup. The analyst claims that Apple has already started receiving component samples and has yet to approve the new parts, but the final approval should arrive sometime by May 2022.
In other words, the approval for the components means that the high end Pro models of 2023 iPhone will feature optical zoom lens. Notably, this deal will likely have Lante Optics supply the iPhone maker with more than 100 million parts for its products. Interestingly, this information is also in line with our previous reports that also hinted at the iPhone 15 Pro sporting a zoom lens. Although, the latest rumors hints at a 5x optical zoom which is half of the last report that suggested a 10x optical zoom.
The past rumor was also from a known Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, so these reports are in conflict with each other regarding the exact capabilities. Although, the inclusion of a periscopic zoom lens is still common between the two. Unfortunately, it is still too early to know for sure regarding Apple’s plans for the iPhone 15 series. So stick around for more updates.
