The possibility of a periscope telephoto lens for the iPhone 14 is receding according to the latest rumors, but if you're willing to wait a year for the iPhone 15, you can finally get the zoom power you've been looking for.
Apple has reportedly struck a deal with a new parts supplier to supply periscope camera parts for the iPhone 15 and beyond, according to The Elec. Korean company Jahwa Electronics has announced that it is investing around $155 million in opening new facilities to build optical image stabilization (OIS) actuators, the part of the camera that holds the lens steady. to limit jitter in images and video.
Based on the fact that Apple visited the company last year, the size of the investment, and Apple's usual insistence on proprietary facilities for its components, The Elec reports that it's quite possible that this investment is made for parts for iPhones.
You can see Jahwa's OIS parts already at work in phones like the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. However, Apple already uses OIS on its main cameras, so if it does place a huge order for more actuators, then something big has to change, which brings us to the persistent rumor that Apple is working on a telephoto lens. periscope for the iPhone.
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are already equipped with classic telephoto lenses with 3x optical zoom. Switching to a periscope telephoto lens, however, would allow for increased magnification, like the 10x zoom you get on the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
This process is just beginning and could take up to a year to complete (March 2023 according to The Elec). This would mean that there would be no chance that the iPhone 14 would benefit from these new components, but the iPhone 15 certainly could. We've heard from multiple analysts that the 2023 iPhone will be Apple's first with a periscope telephoto lens, based on other supply chain partners that Apple seems to be assembling. However, unlike the S22 Ultra, the magnification can reach up to 5x zoom.
In the meantime, however, we have the iPhone 14 series to look forward to. The biggest camera change this time around is believed to be the introduction of a 48MP main camera sensor for the Pro models, while other updates will come in the form of a notch of pill and punch for both Pro models and possible emergency satellite connectivity.
We'll hear more about new iPhone features — and what's missing — this fall. But in the meantime, check out our iPhone 14 hub and iPhone 14 Pro hub for all the latest rumors and leaks.
