Apple to stop iPhone Pro line’s periscope zoom segregation with big help from LG\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

Over the past few generations of the iPhone, Apple has gone on a frenzy of fragmentation unprecedented in its phone-making history. Not only do \u201cregular\u201d iPhones have worse camera kits and displays, but they also have slower chipsets. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, with the iPhone 15 lineup, Apple has also decided to split the iPhone Pro<\/a> and Pro Max models, equipping only its most expensive handset with the unique Tetraprism periscope zoom lenses that offer lossless magnification beyond the usual 3x telephoto fare from Apple.<\/div>\n

Enough, Apple said, and decided to stop optical zoom segregation, at least for the more expensive Pro line of phones. After renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo probed Apple supply chain sources and came away with the impression that Apple could extend optical zoom exclusivity from the Pro Max line to the 16 Pro in 2024, now The Elect<\/a> indicates exactly which suppliers were responsible for the act. <\/div>\n
LG Innotek, one of the suppliers of folded zoom actuators for Apple's Tetrapism camera<\/a> on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, has proven to be the most stable, so Apple would give it the lion's share of its expanded orders next year. Currently, the folded zoom actuator module is mainly supplied by LG Innotek, because the other supplier, Jahwa Electronics, had more yield and quality problems than LG, which reflected on the iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/span>shipping times at the start<\/a> of the sales period. Apple has reportedly entrusted LG Innotek with up to 70% of its folded zoom actuator requirements next year, so it will benefit greatly from the increased order quantity.<\/div>\n
Needless to say, the larger order amount will be because the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the iPhone16<\/span> Pro will feature Apple's unique Tetraprism 5x optical zoom concoction. It will be suitable, as iPhone16<\/span> The size of the Pro is expected to reach 6.3 inches next year, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will increase to 6.9 inches, as Apple prepares to space out its screen diagonals a little further, rather than offering two phones in the same 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch categories, regardless of whether they have different screen or camera technology.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
