IT Home reported on August 27 that according to Korean media The Elec, Apple plans to expand the Tetraprism Telephoto lens, which was previously only used in the iPhone 15 Pro Max, to this year's iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models. According to reports, Apple will continue to rely on LG Innotek to supply the initial batch of folding zoom modules.

According to IT Home, the quadruple-reflection prism telephoto lens uses a folded glass structure. This technology is also called "Tetraprism" by Apple. It reflects light four times to make the light travel a longer path without changing the space, thereby achieving a longer focal length of 120 mm. Both iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will offer 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom.

Apple uses 3D sensor-shift optical image stabilization technology on the telephoto lens of the iPhone 15 Pro Max model, which can shift in all three directions to achieve image stabilization, thereby achieving twice as much fine-tuning as before, and can take clear photos even when zoomed in to the maximum extent.

It is expected that after the initial inventory is consumed (around the fourth quarter), Apple will turn to its second-tier suppliers Foxconn and Cowell Electronics to produce the foldable zoom module to reduce costs. Meanwhile, Sharp is not expected to supply camera modules for any iPhone models released this year.
