Ming-Chi Kuo has backed his earlier report that Apple will put a quad-reflective zoom camera in next year's smaller iPhone 16 Pro. Per his report, Largan will be the sole supplier of the quad-reflective camera for Apple and it has managed to increase its 3Q23 production yield from 40% to 70%.
The increase will make the lens assembly business profitable in 2024 and will also ensure that Apple's Pro lineup is equally capable. Shipments of iPhones equipped with a quad-reflective camera are expected to grow by about 160%, yearly.
Kuo also hints that Huawei will be a big client for Largan's zoom cameras in 2024, naming it the other fastest-growing brand in periscope demand alongside Apple.
His report says the P70, P70 Pro, and P70 Art models will be mass-produced in the first half of 2024 and will have periscope cameras and in-house Kirin chips. Kuo notes that the P70 series will see 100% growth in shipments year over year compared to the P60.
If talking about Quad Prism, then it's not "reflective". Prisms don't reflect, they're not mirrors. It's all about refraction.
You do not need to care about what I say. This is what photography world says. Not my fault if gsmarena keeps calling fixed focal length as optical zoom when it is wrong.
