Highlights Apple expects the iPhone 16 Pro models to dominate sales. Apple plans to produce 90.1 million units of the iPhone 16 series with 67% being Pro models. LG Innotech is the primary supplier of the periscope lens. The company may bring in more suppliers like Cowell or Foxconn in the future. While Apple's Fall event to launch the iPhone 16 series is only a few weeks away, a component order reveals Apple's internal sale expectations. A recent 9to5Mac story hints that the company expects both iPhone 16 Pro models to register maximum sales, despite their higher price tag. Referring to a new supply-chain report, 9to5Mac suggests that Apple believes two-thirds of iPhone 16 sales will come from either the iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max. The key indicator here is Apple's significant order for periscope lens modules. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are rumoured to get an upgraded camera system. Image - YouTube. The periscope lens feature, which was previously exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, is now rumoured to be in the smaller iPhone 16 Pro model as well. As per the Korean News published the Elec, Apple's unique Tetraprism folded optics zoom module also known as folded zoom lens or popularly the periscope lens is being supplied by LG Innotech. 42 million iPhone 16 Pros will come with Tetraprism zoom cameras by LG ,LG Innotek will be the sole supplier of the initial batch of the folded zoom according to supply chain report. The Elec story mentioned, “LG Innotech will exclusively supply the first volume of the Apple iPhone 16 series Folded Zoom, which will be released in the second half of this year, following last year.” The order size suggests Apple is preparing to meet 70% of the anticipated demand for the iPhone 16 lineup. The report also says, “The initial volume is estimated to reach 70% of the iPhone 16 series production by the end of this year The parts industry estimated that Apple’s production plan for four finished iPhone 16 series by the end of this year was 90.1 million units. By model, 24.5 million units (27%) of the general type, 5.8 million units (6%) 26.6 million units of Pro (30%), 33.2 million units of Pro Max (37%), etc. The proportion of two types of professional line-up is 67%.” The telephoto lens will come to both iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Image - YouTube. One of the main reasons Apple decided to increase the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro was to fit in the larger Tetraprism zoom camera. This has, however, further differentiated the upcoming iPhone lineup. For the first time in 2024, we will be getting four distinct screen sizes in the iPhone series series. Apple is admittedly focusing on offering more variety for consumers. While Apple is initially relying solely on LG Innotech for these components, the company plans to bring in a second supplier in the future. There is a possibility we might see Cowell or Foxconn potentially getting a contract from Apple. The 'Pro' models will feature all the latest Apple tech, including new Apple Intelligence. Apple Intelligence rumored to be an important part of iPhone 16 sales pitch. However, it is important to note that dedicated Apple Intelligence features will not be available at launch. Apple released iOS 18.1 to developers for testing, which means the possible release of the latest iOS version is scheduled for October, weeks after the iPhone 16 Series launch. Apple has been trying its best to diversify its supply chain. However, with every new feature, we have seen the company often relying on a few key manufacturers. For instance, the bright LTPO panels with dynamic refresh rates in the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will primarily be produced by Samsung, with LG following. Certain media reports also suggest that the Tetraprism zoom camera might also be manufactured by Jahwa. However, the production plans for them will remain in smaller batches initially. The bulk order will come from established suppliers, which will also help in managing costs in the next quarter. The 5x optical zoom feature as a part of the Tetraprism camera system is expected to add a cost to the iPhone 16 Pro. However, Apple is planning to recover this investment with a different pricing strategy. With the iPhone 16, Apple is not bringing any radical design changes. The company is rather working on an ultra-thin version of the iPhone 17. However, this will not be released until next year and will also come with a higher price tag. All these factors will influence how the market behaves this year with the iPhone 16 series launch. iPhone 16 Pro Max - Is The 1mm Bezel Better? Thin Bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro Max (Image Credit - IceUniverse). While Apple is anticipating maximum sales for the “Pro” models, both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are generating maximum buzz for the rumoured ultra-thin bezel among every other feature. We recently reported that Phone 16 Pro Max will have just about 1mm wide bezels, 1.15mm to be more precise. So, are thin bezels on a phone screen a better idea? Bezels are the borders around your phone's display. Most believe thin-size bezels create an immersive viewing experience. A thin bezel means more display area, which means you can enjoy content on a relatively bigger screen without necessarily making the phone bigger. Following this chain of thought, many smartphone manufacturers are already battling the thin bezel race. Until now, Apple has been largely absent from this race. This ultra-thin bezel has reportedly allowed Apple to make the iPhone 16 Pro Max display bigger without increasing the size of the phone. With just 1.15mm thickness, this would make it the thinnest bezel we have seen on any iPhone. iPhone 16 Pro Models - Everything We Know So Far iPhone 16 Pro Models Expected to launch on 10th September 2024.
