Apple iPhone 16 Pro Expected to Feature Enhanced Tetraprism Periscope Zoom Lens: Supply Chain Report

Rumored iPhone 16 Pro to feature new tetraprism periscope zoom lens.

The iPhone 16 Pro is rumored to come with Apple's advanced tetraprism periscope zoom lens, promising significant camera improvements.

Key Suppliers for iPhone 16 Pro Camera Components Revealed

The tetraprism periscope camera, which was introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro Max last year and features 5x optical zoom, will be included in the next iPhone 16 Pro, according to DigiTimes.

It has been reported that the key suppliers for the tetraprism camera components of the iPhone 16 Pro are the Taiwanese lens makers Largan Precision and Genius Electronic Optical (GSEO). According to sources that are close to the supply chain, both Largan and GSEO are now increasing their output in order to get ready for the launch of the iPhone 16 series.

At this time, it is anticipated that Largan, which was responsible for supplying the periscope lenses for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, will once again secure a significant percentage of the orders.

Largan Chairman Predicts Peak Sales Period for Optical Components

Adam Lin, the chairman of Largan, has stated that the optical components industry is likely to have peak sales between the months of September and November. This coincides with the anticipated release period for the iPhone 16 Pro models.

It has been claimed that GSEO, a new participant in the supply chain for this component, is currently undergoing quality testing, and the results are looking promising.

Production of Periscope Lenses Expected to Start in July

MacRumors reports that the periscope lenses manufactured by GSEO are currently being validated. If they pass the requisite testing successfully, production is anticipated to start in the middle of July.

A significant advancement over earlier models, which were only capable of providing a maximum of three times the optical zoom, the tetraprism periscope lens that was introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro Max is capable of providing up to five times the optical zoom and twenty-five times the digital zoom.

In addition to the improvements in optical zoom that the telephoto camera has brought about, it is anticipated that the periscope lens will also bring about improvements in overall image stabilization and performance in low-light situations.
