Apple finds periscope telephoto lens supplier for 2023 iPhones

Apple has reached an agreement with a new telephoto lens component supplier for the periscope camera system in future iPhones.

Spending 191 billion won ($155 million) to build a factory to produce new optical image stabilization (OIS) actuators. Apple visited Jahwa Electronics’ new factory in the first half of 2021, and it is “likely” that investments are being made so that Jahwa can supply OIS actuators to Apple starting next year.

Apple usually requires suppliers to build dedicated production lines for its own parts, but the new facility planned to be built in Gumi will need Apple's approval once it is completed, and the entire process will take a year to complete.

The OIS actuator combines OIS and autofocus functions into one and is likely to be used in the telephoto camera in the 2023 iPhone. Elec Previously attached these components to a periscope camera system, thereby adding optical zoom.

In a periscope system, light entering the telephoto lens is reflected by a beveled mirror to the camera's image sensor. The change in the direction of light travel allows for a longer "folded" telephoto setting inside the phone, allowing users to zoom in further without any blur.
