iPhone 16 Pro to Integrate iPhone 15 Pro Max’s Camera with New Design
The iPhone 16 series is just a few months away to surprise Apple fans. Whether it is about upgraded cameras, new chipset or design overhaul, the iPhone 16 series is surely expected to bring some significant changes. However, leaks and rumours have already shed light on what to expect ahead of its launch. Recently, Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo revealed that the iPhone 16 Pro is all set to bring the exclusive iPhone 15 Pro Max‘s camera technology.
Apple’s Camera Lens Supplier
Moreover, Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that Largan, Apple’s main lens supplier, will continue providing these lenses. “Apple is Largan’s largest customer, and Largan is also Apple’s largest lens supplier. Therefore, the new iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will have a tetraprism camera in 2H24,” Kuo mentioned on Medium.
Apart from this, Genius Electronic Optical (GSEO) is also expected to join as a new lens supplier, according to DigiTimes. Apple has placed significant orders with both Largan and GSEO to make a steady supply of periscope lenses. Largan’s shipment price for tetraprism lenses is unaffected by the new entry of Genius Electronic Optical into the market in the second half of 2024. This indicates Largan’s strong position in supplying these lenses for iPhones, Ming-Chi Kuo suggested.
Design Makeover
There are also rumours that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max may get a bigger display size this year, 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch respectively. Now, leaks suggest that to accommodate the expected tetraprism lens, the iPhone 16 Pro models might see a slight increase in size. This adjustment addresses the previous physical limitations that prevented the larger zoom lens from being included in the smaller iPhone 15 Pro.
Apart from this, the iPhone 16 models are also expected to get a new Capture button that is rumoured to let you easily zoom in and out and capture photos/videos. Another major upgrade this year that we are expecting is the performance boost. A recent leak suggest that the entire iPhone 16 series may pack the Apple A18 chip.
However, several rumours do not confirm the truth. Hence, we should wait for the official launch expected in early September 2024 to know what does the new iPhone 16 models will bring to the table.
