Apple iPhone 16 Pro to Feature Slightly Larger Display, Periscope Lens [Kuo]

Apple will increase the display size of the iPhone 16 Pro compared to the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, allowing the company to introduce a periscope lens to the model, according to a new report from TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

The display size of the iPhone 16 Pro will be slightly larger than the iPhone 14/15 Pro's 6.1", allowing the 16 Pro to equip with a periscope camera thanks to larger internal space. It's expected that iPhone 16 Pro Max and Pro will have periscopes (vs. only Pro Max among the 15 series). Cowell will likely be the CCM supplier for the iPhone 16 periscope in 2024. The CCM ASP of the periscope is approximately 6–8 times that of the iPhone front AF CCM, which will help Cowell to increase its revenue significantly.

The periscope lens is said to enable between 5x to 6x optical zoom and will be a nice enhancement for photographers. While the iPhone 15 Pro Max is rumored to get a periscope lens this year, the iPhone 15 Pro is unlikely to get the same upgrade.


A recent investor note from Haitong Intl Tech Research analyst Jeff Pu predicts that all four iPhone 15 models will feature a 48MP rear camera. Other specs include a titanium middle frame for the iPhone 15 Pro/Max, 6GB of RAM for the iPhone 15/Plus and 8GB of RAM for the iPhone 15 Pro/Max, and a USB-C connector for all four models.
