Apple may raise the iPhone 16 Pro price for it, though.
Samsung may be supplying the bulk of iPhone 16 series displays this year, but LG will monopolize the supply chain for Apple’s unique Tetraprism folded optics zoom module. LG has become so adept at producing the optical zoom module of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, that Apple has tasked it with producing 70% of all Tetraprism cameras in the iPhone 16 line.
Since those will now go to both the 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pro, and the 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max, LG will scoop the lion’s share of the expensive zoom module supply on 60 million iPhone 16 Pro models, tip The Elec’s supply chain sources.
