Apple supports iPhone 14 with a sensor for the front camera from LG Innotek
The latest reports clarified Apple's plans to support the iPhone 14 series of phones with a front-facing camera sensor from the Korean giant LG Innotek.
Previous reports indicated that Apple is preparing to replace the Chinese company with the Korean company LG Innotek
Previous reports indicated that Apple is preparing to replace the Chinese company with the Korean company LG Innotek, the supplier of the front camera sensor, which is the first time that Apple has relied on a Korean company for the front camera sensors.
The “Korean IT News” report confirmed that Apple initially planned to support the iPhone 15 series with a camera sensor from the Korean company LG Innotek, but Apple decided to switch to using the Korean company’s technology starting with the iPhone 14 series.
The report shows that the manufacturing quality problem in the camera sensors provided by the Chinese company is the main reason for Apple to make the change this year.
The report also confirms that the cost of the front camera in the iPhone 14 series is three times more than the current versions of the iPhone, where the new front camera comes with an automatic adjustment feature.
Currently, LG Innotek offers back camera sensors to Apple
Currently, LG Innotek offers back camera sensors to Apple, and the front camera market is expected to be divided between the Japanese company Sharp and the South Korean LG Innotek.
It is reported that Apple supports the Pro versions this year of the iPhone 14 series with a 48-megapixel main sensor, so we look forward to more details about the next generation of iPhone phones.
