TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo made various predictions about the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which will be released only a year later.

The demand for the new iPhone 16 Pro Max will be very high because its main advantage is a telephoto lens equipped with tetraprism technology. Apple decided to urgently improve the characteristics of the lens to improve the performance of the module, hoping that the more precise assembly of the lens (1G3P lens + prism) could compensate for the assembly tolerances of the module.

As Ming-Chi Kuo stated, the price of the telephoto lens on the iPhone 16 Pro Max will increase by approximately 30% due to Apple’s decision to improve the features of the lenses and demand an increase in production.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro will feature a tetraprism telephoto lens, which will likely retain existing features in terms of camera performance and performance. I estimate that iPhone shipments equipped with a tetraprism telephoto lens will reach 70-80 million units in 2024, increasing by approximately 110% compared to the previous year. Ming-Chi Kuo
