Apple
is expected to launch the
iPhone 16 series
next month. A new report about supply chain component shipments claims that the Cupertino-based tech giant will focus more on the Pro models in the upcoming
iPhone
lineup. According to a report by The Elec, the supply chain speculates that Apple may produce around 90 million iPhone 16 models.
The report also divided the number of each iPhone 16 model that Apple may produce.
The company may manufacture 24.5 million units of the base iPhone 16, 5.8 million Plus model, 26.6 million iPhone 16 Pros and 33.2 million Pro Max options.
This means 67% of phones that Apple will manufacture for the iPhone 16 series will be Pro and Pro Max models. Meanwhile, the base iPhone 16 and the Plus variant will have a 27% and 6% share of the production.
The production mix comes amid reports that the tetra-prism lens for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max has begun shipping to assembly partners from LG Innotek .
This advanced lens is expected to enhance the telephoto zoom capabilities for both Pro models, increasing the zoom range from 3x to 5x.
Apple seeks to continue the popularity of Pro models
The iPhone Pro models are already the most popular option among consumers. This report suggests that Apple is preparing to maintain this trend as it expects high sales for Pro models to continue.
Apart from the tetra-prism lens, the iPhone 16 Pro models are also expected to feature an upgraded 48MP ultra-wide lens.
Meanwhile, the non-Pro models are also likely to receive enhancements, including a wider aperture for improved low-light photography, macro support, and a vertical camera arrangement to enable Spatial Video recording.
Rumours also suggests that base iPhone 16 models may get a new Capture button which is designed to make taking photos more convenient.
