The suppliers are expected to use exclusive production lines for its parts

The report from the Elec states that Apple has entered into an agreement with Jahwa Electronics to supply it with periscopic telephoto lenses for the iPhone 15 series. The South Korean lens suppliers have already proclaimed that it had planned to pay KRW 191 billion (roughly Rs. 1,188.9 crore) so that it can develop a new factory in Gumi, South Korea. Although, the company had plants that manufacture optical image stabilisers (OIS) actuators for the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. Well, the development of any new plant would purposely indicate that Jahwa might have acquired certain heavy investments as a part of a new deal. The production of new factory is expected to start by March 2023.

Moreover, the report specifies that Apple had visited Jahwa's OIS production line in 2021. On the other hand, the Cupertino Company had asked its suppliers to create separate and dedicated production lines for its parts. Before the production in Gumi starts the new site there need to get approved by Apple that might take nearly a year.

The recent information basically coincides with an earlier report which has also hinted earlier that Apple may fit its 2023 iPhone models with periscopic telephoto lenses. Along with this, the company is basically expected to enhance the rear cameras on its 2022 models. It might even employ a unibody lens design for the selfie camera to scale down the size of the display notch.
