And it is that in recent days the news has spread that the Cupertino company will add periscopic lenses in the next iPhone 15. In this sense, DigiTimes recently published that there will be two suppliers responsible for producing said lenses. Do you want to know what progress it brings? Continue reading.
Optical zoom up to 6x
According to the leaks, Apple’s idea is to place the periscopic lenses one after the other and aligned with the rest of the camera components. Part of these lenses will be placed perpendicular and in an “L” shapejust as it is done on the periscopes of a submarine.
It would save them more space to improve these lenses without sacrificing too much thickness of the device, and the optical zoom improvement from 5 to 6 increases. A considerable increase if we take into account the 3 that the iPhone 14 Pro currently has.
As a first information, it was said that Largan Precision would be the exclusive supplier of these periscopic lenses. However, GSEO has now been added as another provider, as it has experience since 2021 in this type of technology. Additionally, Apple has learned to no longer rely on a single vendor after the problems in China.
The iPhone 15 line is expected to be unveiled in September, as Apple has accustomed us to for a long time. It will be until then that we will have confirmation of whether the periscopic camera will end up being a reality or not. In addition, the iPhone 16 should ship this technology in 2024, extending it to more models and not just the Pro Max.
