While the Apple iPhone 15 series was announced a couple of months ago, there are already various rumors and reports regarding the iPhone 16 lineup. Now, the latest report claims that the iPhone 16 Pro could feature a notable improvement in the photography department.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro could feature a Tetraprism 120mm camera
The Cupertino based giant is expected to bring a camera lens tech that was exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max model to the smaller iPhone 16 Pro. According to known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16 Pro will also feature Apple’s tetraprism 120mm telephoto shooter. Kuo adds that the improved tetraprism camera is arriving thanks to improvements in yields for Largan, who is the sole supplier of the tetraprism camera lenses.
Initially, the periscope lens faced low production yield, but improvements have boosted yields to more than 70 percent. In other words, this camera lens production is more profitable. Thus, Kuo believes that Apple will feature tetraprism technology in the smaller Pro model as well in 2024. This is in line with our previous report that hinted at upgrades in camera technology thanks to adopted molded glass lenses.
The analyst states that Apple and Huawei are projected to be the two fastest growing brands in the global periscope camera smartphone shipments in 2024. Largan is expected to be the primary supplier of periscope lenses for Apple and Huawei. So we can expect the improved camera technology to make its way to the Huawei P70 series. For those unaware, Huawei’s P series are flagship devices that emphasize photography.
