This year, Apple equipped the iPhone 15 Pro with a 12-megapixel telephoto camera that offers 3x optical zoom support.
Get ready for the iPhone 16 series, rumored to hit the scene next year. Even though it’s still a while away, leaks are already buzzing around the internet, giving us a sneak peek into what Apple might have up its sleeve for the next flagship phones. One familiar name in the mix is analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who’s once again emphasizing that both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to boast Apple’s tetraprism telephoto lens, promising an upgrade in zoom capabilities.
This year, Apple introduced the tetraprism lens system with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, allowing for a cool 5x optical zoom. Meanwhile, the smaller iPhone 15 Pro settled for a respectable 3x optical zoom. Now, in a recent blog post, TF International Securities analyst spills the beans, confirming the inclusion of a tetraprism camera in the iPhone 16 Pro next year. This aligns with Kuo’s earlier predictions.
Adding this fancy tetraprism camera to the iPhone 16 Pro could potentially result in a whopping 160 percent year-on-year growth for Apple’s smartphones. Kuo is optimistic, foreseeing this camera making its way to both models in 2024. He drops a tidbit about Largan, the exclusive supplier of quadruple reflex periscope camera lenses for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apparently, their production yield has jumped from a modest 40 percent to a solid 70 percent or more.
Kuo believes that Apple and Huawei will lead the periscope camera smartphone race in 2024, with Largan playing a pivotal role as the primary supplier for both giants. Meanwhile, Huawei’s P70 series set to roll out in the first half of next year, It is also expected to flaunt those coveted periscope cameras.
Beyond the camera buzz, the iPhone 16 Pro models might treat us to some display upgrades. Word on the street is that the Pro models could sport a 6.27-inch display for the iPhone 16 Pro and a larger 6.86-inch display for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Plus, be ready yourself for the silky smooth visuals with a 120Hz display, courtesy of the low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) technology. As for the regular iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 pro and Plus models, they seem to be holding onto their 6.12-inch and 6.69-inch displays, sticking to a reliable 60Hz refresh rate. Exciting times ahead for the iPhone aficionados!
