The most problematic module of the iPhone 15 Pro Max to supply is currently the compact tetraprism camera module (CCM). This was reported by well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo on his blog.

Apple decided to improve the performance of the lens with tetraprisms supplied exclusively by Largan. Due to the sudden increase in lens requirements and the urgent need to meet supply needs, Largan urgently expanded its production lines for tetraprism lenses.

Considering the increasing production tasks and the need to allocate more resources, the unit price of tetraprism lens has increased significantly by more than 20%, which will greatly increase Largan’s revenues and profits. Ming-Chi Kuo

iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro are expected to be equipped with tetraprism telephoto lenses. Largan is expected to maintain its status as the sole or primary supplier of tetraprism lenses next year. The second supplier could be Genius. iPhone 15 sales will start on September 22.
