Apple brings a new camera to the camera features of the iPhone models it releases every year. This year, it added the macro shooting capability, which is highly appreciated by users. However, its rivals have widened the gap in terms of zoom. For this reason, the company, which has decided to bring a periscope lens, has made an agreement with LG Innotek and part manufacturer Jahwa Electronics.
iPhone 15 models will come with periscope lens!
Jahwa Electronics, one of the important manufacturers of South Korea, announced that it has invested 191 billion won (approximately 155 million dollars) for the new facilities it will open recently. It is thought that this is planned for productions directly for Apple. Because Apple officials already visited the existing facilities at the beginning of last year.
It is estimated that Jahwa Electronics will manufacture optical image stabilization (OIS) modules for the periscope lens to be used in iPhone models. It is said that these OIS modules will be supplied to LG Innotek and combined with the periscope lens to be made there. Of course, since the terms of the agreement have not been revealed yet, we cannot say for sure. However, let me state that there is more to it than a claim.
Long-time followers of the subject say that Jahwa Electronics’ OIS patents are much better than those on the market in creating foldable zoom technology. Of course, this new technology will be included in a periscope camera system that uses different prisms to fold-refract the light entering the image sensor, and then the first test results will be shared.
To refract light in this way, manufacturers are allegedly already working on smaller camera modules that increase the optical zoom range of the iPhone. But we can say that he is already a candidate for the leadership seat.
Jahwa was actually often associated with Samsung in the past. However, in this new OIS system that it will produce for Apple, it will completely change the method of using springs in previous versions. It will use rolling balls instead. In this way, it will be more sensitive than the spring system and will support much higher resolution and large image sensors.
