Reports on April 15 reveal that the Chairman of Largan Precision, Lin En-Ping, recently disclosed significant progress regarding a plastic prism, which has successfully passed testing by a well-known client. However, there remains some uncertainty about whether it will ultimately be applied to products.
Industry experts speculate that the client mentioned by Lin En-Ping is highly likely to be the tech giant Apple. Looking back at last year's release of the iPhone 15 series, the most notable highlight was undoubtedly the Pro flagship model's introduction of a periscope lens, with Largan Precision being the exclusive supplier of this innovative technology.
It's worth mentioning that prisms, as crucial components of periscopic lenses, each carry two precise glass prisms, with their supply managed by Crystal Optoelectronics. The successful testing of plastic prism technology undoubtedly opens up more possibilities for upgrading the imaging system of Apple's next-generation iPhone.
Moreover, recent high-definition renders of the iPhone 16 have sparked widespread discussion among consumers. From the renders, it's evident that the new iPhone has undergone minor adjustments in its design. While still featuring a dual-camera setup, the arrangement of the cameras has been changed to a vertical layout, reminiscent of the classic era of the iPhone X.
What's even more exciting is that the iPhone 16 series will feature an integrated Action button across all models. This innovative design allows users to customize up to nine different functions. Originally occupying the position of the exclusive mmWave 5G antenna in the United States, this button has now been cleverly redesigned to not only retain its original function but also add more interactive experiences. The button adopts a mechanical design with a capacitive surface, supporting zoom gestures, providing users with a more convenient and personalized way of operation.
