It is reported that Apple has commissioned South Korean manufacturer LG Innotek to mass produce a self timer camera belonging to iPhone 14. According to the latest report, this will be the first time in iPhone history that a Korean supplier will assume this responsibility. The Korean manufacturer initially received an order to provide apple with camera parts for the iPhone 15, but according to etnews, Apple has been quite active in accelerating its progress.
Obviously, the reason behind this decision is related to the problems arising from the use of camera parts produced by Chinese suppliers during the quality test phase.
In addition to providing parts for the selfie camera of iPhone 14, LG Innotek will also mass produce the main camera. So far, the California based giant has two suppliers to provide self photographing camera parts; LG Innotek and sharp. The report said the orders were shared by the two manufacturers, but did not say whether the two companies would produce camera parts of the same quality.
Various reports, leaks and other forms of evidence show that the iPhone 14 series camera will be greatly upgraded. For example, the previous news leaked the reserved holes in the rear of the fuselage of all iPhone 14 models for the camera module. Compared with the previous version, they are significantly larger in size, suggesting that the iPhone 14 will have a larger camera. However, previous rumors said that only the more expensive versions, iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14 Pro max, could get the 48 megapixel sensor upgrade. But the disadvantage is that the 48 megapixel camera will lead to a higher bulge on the back, so users have to make up for this change by purchasing the mobile phone again, so that the rear side and accessories Flush. Although there is no information about the maximum video recording resolution supported by the self timer camera of iPhone 14, the main 48 megapixel upgrade may be supported by 8K video recording, which will be the first time for iPhone.
The iPhone 14 series is expected to be launched in September this year, so we will see Apple How to improve the imaging quality by cooperating with LG Innotek to produce self timer camera parts.
