Low-quality lenses almost threatened the launch of the iPhone12 this year

One of the lens vendors for the regular (non-Pro) version of the iPhone 12 is experiencing quality problems, according to new data from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. However, this fact should not affect the shipping schedule of the devices, as the other supplier is able to compensate for the lack of lenses.
Kuo says Genius Electronic Optical has found that the coating of a wide-angle lens designed for the iPhone 12 from the bottom is prone to cracking. The problem was discovered during testing at high temperatures and high humidity. For this reason, the supply of components manufactured by Genius Electronic Optical will be somewhat delayed.
Largan is another lens supplier and Kuo says he has no quality problems. It is reported that Largan will be able to supply the number of lenses needed to launch the iPhone 12. in time. Kuo also says that even if Genius Electronic Optical solves product quality problems, it will have to cut lens prices by about 30% to recover its total share. optics supplies.
As a reminder, Apple confirmed last week that the iPhone 12 family will be launched a few weeks later than usual. In addition, the company is supposed to release new items in two stages. Two 6.1-inch models will be presented first, and later Apple will show 5.4 and 6.7 inch devices.
