Apple is apparently planning on bringing on another supplier for its upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max. The company is adding another supplier to help source the new periscope camera lens on its next gen flagship. So here are all the details.
New Apple supplier will make iPhone 15 Pro Max’s 6x zoom lens
For those unaware, the Cupertino based giant’s iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to launch with a periscope camera sensor, which is basically a telephoto lens that reflects light via an angled mirror towards the camera’s image sensor for improved magnification. Thanks to the change in direction of light, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is capable of offering higher magnification without any blurriness or fall in picture quality.
Based on our previous report, we can expect see up to 5x or 6x optical zoom on the company’s next gen premium iPhone. For those unaware, this is about two times higher than the 3x optical magnification offered on the current gen iPhone 14 Pro Max. Initial reports have hinted that Largan Precision would be the sole supplier of the periscope system, but a new report suggests that the Genius Electronic Optical (GSEO) will be the new supplier of the module.
GSEO had previously shipped periscope lenses to a Japanese smartphone maker. Now, known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the iPhone 16 Pro models in 2024 will use a periscope lens similar to the one that is exclusively used on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report so take this news with a pinch of salt for now.
