The Economics of iPhone 15 Pro Max's Periscope Camera Lens

The periscope camera lens exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be supplied solely by Largan, according to Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The periscope lens allows for a longer "folded" telephoto setup inside phones, enabling users to zoom in further without any blurriness. Kuo believes both iPhone 16 Pro models in 2024 will use the same or similar periscope lens as the one used in the ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌ Max. However, the average selling price for Largan's shipped periscope camera lenses is around $4, which is notably lower than the market consensus of $4.50 to $5 or higher, meaning Largan cannot profit from the periscope camera lens.

iPhone 15 Pro Max Periscope Lens Supplier Faces Losses Despite Low Production Costs

Apple is reportedly increasing the price of its iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, with the larger model exclusively featuring a periscope zoom camera. However, the periscope camera lens supplier, Largan, is said to miss out on this opportunity as it will only make $4 per unit. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Largan may not even be included in Apple's supply chain for the iPhone 16. This may lead to a reduction in prices for periscope camera lenses, sacrificing margins for suppliers.
