Original title: iPhone may not be equipped with periscope zoom camera until 2023, supplied by Samsung
[Mobile China News]According to foreign media MSPoweruser, Korean media reported that due to Apple’s long-term patent dispute, its periscope zoom camera may not be used on the iPhone until 2023.
Periscope camera
According to reports, Samsung has key patents for periscope camera technology. In order to maintain a competitive advantage, the company is unlikely to open authorization to Apple. Samsung uses a ball rail actuator in its foldable zoom camera, while Apple has a patent for a spring actuation system that has lower speed and accuracy, not only power consumption but also lower durability.
People familiar with the matter said that Apple may solve this problem by allowing supplier LG InnoTek to obtain patented technology from Samsung Electromechanical, but this may have to wait until 2022 to 2023. Although Apple urgently needs the technology, the company must still negotiate with Samsung. According to reports, it is very likely that Apple and Samsung will reach a deal, and Samsung will serve as Apple’s camera supplier.
