Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro will feature the tetraprism periscope camera with 5x optical zoom that debuted last year on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, DigiTimes reports.
Taiwanese lens makers Largan Precision and Genius Electronic Optical (GSEO) are reportedly the main suppliers of the iPhone 16 Pro’s tetraprism camera components. Sources close to the supply chain said that Largan and GSEO are now ramping up production in anticipation of the iPhone 16 lineup.
Largan, which supplied the periscope lenses for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, is expected to once again secure a substantial share of orders. Largan President Adam Lin recently indicated that the optical components business is expected to see a sales peak from September to November, which is the expected release period for the iPhone 16 Pro models.
GSEO, a new entrant in the supply chain of this component, is reportedly undergoing quality testing with promising results. DigiTimesGSEO’s periscope lenses are currently undergoing validation, with production expected to begin in mid-July if they pass the necessary tests.
The tetraprism periscope lens introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro Max offers up to 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom, a major improvement over previous models, which were limited to a maximum of 3x optical zoom. In addition to the advancements in optical zoom with the telephoto camera, the periscope lens should also improve overall image stabilization and low-light performance.
