Back with more info on the next line of iPhonesthe analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today on twitter that Apple should reallocate the proximity sensor of the future generation.
More precisely, this component is responsible for “turning off” the iPhone screen when the device is placed close to the ear during a call or audio playback, for example. On iPhone 14 Pro [Max]the sensor is under the screen and just below the Dynamic Island (Dynamic Island).
However, according to the information obtained by Kuo, the proximity sensor will be located “inside” the Dynamic Island in the “iPhones 15”as reflected by the leaker ShrimpApplePro.
The iPhone 15 range’s proximity sensor will be in the Dynamic Island area, rather than below it.
Despite this, the format of this element should not be changed, but Kuo said that this makes a difference in the technical details of the sensor, which will have a wavelength of 940nm, compared to the 1380nm of the sensor present in current models – in this case, smaller does not mean worse , as there may be performance advantages with the shorter wavelength.
The change is also reflected in Apple’s supply chain, since IQE will replace Landmark as the exclusive supplier of the epi-wafer for the production of the component, whose sensor is supplied by Finisar.
Apparently, the change will apply to all models of the “iPhone 15” line, since the Dynamic Island will be expanded to all of them, according to rumors.
