A New Lens for iPhone 16 Pro
According to The Elec and other sources, LG will supply the iPhone 16 Pro series with the telephoto camera modules for the second time. This folded zoom lens will enable a more powerful zooming function which could possibly reach up to 5 times better than the previous 3 times zooming. Jahwa Electronics will also contribute by providing OIS actuators, which refer to the components that enable stabilization of the optical image.
LG and Samsung’s Past Relations
On the one hand, LG remains intimately involved in iPhone camera development; on the other hand, Apple’s partnership with other manufacturers, Samsung in particular, remains a work in progress. Samsung has been the primary supplier for display for Apple products while LG has been recently involved in the manufacturing of camera modules for Apple products which indicates the diversification of Apple.
iPhone 16 New Features and Pricing
The iPhone 16 series is rumored to bring new features to the phone such as the 48MP ultra-wide lens, and the new capture button among other improvements in low-light performance in the non-Pro models. The price is expected to begin from $1,099 for the iPhone 16 Pro and $1,199 for the Pro Max. Apple is also seemingly seeking ways of controlling expenses, and this is why the company is toying with the idea of manufacturing their devices in India.
The partnership between LG and Apple is to help set a new record for mobile photography with the forthcoming iPhone 16 Pro series. Tech enthusiasts wait for the official release, where new features are expected to improve the interaction with the application.
