iPhone 16 Pro series will be equipped with periscope lens as standard: production has started and supports 5x zoom

News on July 6, according to the latest report from DigiTimes, Apple will introduce the same 5x optical zoom quad prism periscope lens as the iPhone 15 Pro Max in the iPhone 16 Pro. According to reports, Apple has already handed over module orders to Largan Optoelectronics and Yujing Optoelectronics to start production. This means that this year’s iPhone 16 Pro series will come standard with a periscope telephoto lens that supports 5x optical zoom.

iPhone 15 Pro series periscope lens optimization

1. solves the previous tangled problem that only the large-screen version of the iPhone 15 Pro series Pro Max supports periscope lenses.
2. Apple uses a unique quadruple reflection prism periscope structure, which is quite different from the periscope lens of Android models.
3. After four times of refraction, the CMOS plane is placed on the motherboard, effectively reducing the thickness of the lens module.
4. This design avoids the huge lens bulge problem that is common on Android flagship phones.

   

   Android periscope design

• Ordinary Android periscope only needs one refraction and the light loss is small.

Apple periscope design

• Experiences four refractions, even if the best materials are used, light loss is inevitable.
• Resulting in a reduction in the amount of light transmitted to the CMOS, exacerbating the problem of micron.

  

  Therefore, the night scene telephoto performance of iPhone 15 Pro Max is relatively poor and far inferior to Android competing products. In the more commonly used 3x lens performance, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is obviously not as good as the upright 3x telephoto performance on the iPhone 15 Pro. The overall performance is very embarrassing, not only whether Apple will make improvements this year.
