The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro from Apple is generating a lot of buzz, especially with the rumored inclusion of a tetraprism periscope camera that offers a 5x optical zoom. This exciting feature first made its debut on last year’s iPhone 15 Pro Max, and now it seems like it’s here to stay.

According to reports from DigiTimes via MacRumors, Taiwanese lens manufacturers Largan Precision and Genius Electronic Optical (GSEO) are gearing up to supply the primary components for the iPhone 16 Pro’s innovative camera system. Both companies are reportedly increasing their production capacity in anticipation of the new iPhone’s launch.

For those familiar with Apple’s lineup, the iPhone 15 Pro Max was the first to introduce the tetraprism periscope lens technology, offering users up to 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom. In comparison, the previous model, iPhone 15 Pro, only had a 3x optical zoom, requiring users to opt for the more expensive Pro Max version for enhanced zoom capabilities.

With the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro set to feature a similar 5x zoom camera as its larger counterpart, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, it seems like Apple is aiming to provide a unified camera experience across its lineup. This move could potentially simplify choices for consumers and offer consistent performance across different models.

Exciting times lie ahead for Apple enthusiasts as we await further details on the iPhone 16 Pro and its impressive camera capabilities. Stay tuned for more updates on Phones Canada!
