Publication date: September 25, 2023 857 The well-known analyst (Ming-Chi Kuo) regarding Apple leaks reported that the (iPhone 16 Pro) and (iPhone 16 Pro Max) phones will have the same quad-prism lens as the (iPhone 15 Pro Max) phone. The iPhone 15 Pro Max was the only 2023 model to feature a quad-prism lens system, allowing the telephoto optical zoom to be increased from 3x to 5x. Now, the analyst said in a post on the Medium platform that both Pro models of the iPhone 16, which may be launched in the fall of 2024, will get this feature. Kuo discussed the supply chain for the iPhone 15 Pro Max camera system, including: price increases due to Apple raising the telephoto lens validation requirements and increasing demand. As for (iPhone 16 Pro Max), demand “exceeds expectations” due to the lens system. Combined with improved specifications and demand, the cost of the component will rise regarding 30 percent to between $6 and $6.50 per unit. Topics related to what you are reading now: Kuo said that the iPhone 16 Pro model will also receive the lens, “and it will likely maintain the current high specifications to ensure camera performance and production returns.” The analyst expects shipments of iPhones that use the quad-prism camera to grow by approximately 110 percent in 2024, equivalent to between 70 million and 80 million units. The high demand should mean that current lens supplier Largan, along with Crystal-Optech and Lante Optics, will be the main beneficiaries of the promotion of quad-prism lenses in 2024. The companies are expected to expand Supplied production capacity for quad prism lenses by at least 50 percent in 2024. Crystal-Optech will struggle to keep up with demand in 2023, prompting Lante to struggle to fill some additional orders.
