LG Innotech serves as the primary supplier of Apple’s camera modules, and a recent report indicates that the company is enhancing its production facilities to prepare for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro cameras set to launch next year.
While the specific details about the iPhone 17 camera lineup are still scarce, the report hints at a notable consistency …
According to TheElec, the periscope lens facilitating 5x zoom will continue to be exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro for the next generation.
The report mentions that LG Innotech is constructing a new camera module plant due to the advanced specifications of the iPhone 17 Pro camera, but further details remain undisclosed.
On the 21st, LG Innotech revealed its plan to invest 375.9 billion won to establish a new facility for the camera module (Optical Solution Division). The intention behind this investment is “to adapt to new optical solution models and enhance competitiveness” […]
Currently, LG Innotech holds a substantial market share for Apple iPhone camera modules, suggesting that a significant increase in production capacity is not immediately necessary. Consequently, the primary aim of this investment appears to be the modernization of equipment and facilities in line with the high specifications of the iPhone 17 series camera module.
As we are still several months away from the iPhone 17 lineup release, it is not surprising that details regarding specific changes, particularly concerning the camera module or the overall phone features, are minimal.
We anticipate a new model, provisionally dubbed the iPhone 17 Air (the final name may differ). This model is expected to be one of the slimmest iPhones ever made, prioritizing a sleek design over specifications, including a smaller cutout for an upgraded Face ID module. A significant compromise is likely the inclusion of only one camera, despite potentially having a higher price tag than the triple-camera large-screen iPhone 17 Pro Max.
