Last year, these new lenses from LG improved the optical zoom capabilities of iPhones. Apple utilises a method called Tetraprism technology that comes with a folded glass structure within the lens. This technology enables the lens to effectively reflect the light and achieve a focal length of 120mm. For the Pro Max variant, MacRumors reported that Apple takes advantage of 3D sensor-shift optical image stabilisation for its telephoto lens to capture stable images as it has the ability to move in three directions (up, down, and sideways). In simpler terms, it enables the camera lens to capture detailed images without any hassle. 

After the initial supply, Foxconn and Cowell are expected to take charge of the development of the new telephoto lens, allowing Apple to save costs for the production of its camera sensor.
