According to long-rumoured reports, Apple is all ready to take the curtains off the iPhone 7 Plus this year. The latest news from the rumour mills indicated that the camera module on the new device will be manufactured and supplied by LG Innotek, as per sources quoted by Business Korea.
According to the report, LG Innotek will exclusively supply the dual camera module for Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus, which is expected to make its debut by next year. It also pointed out that LG will start shipping the dual camera module starting this month. Earlier reports suggested that Sony was tasked with delivering the camera modules but the company reconsidered its decision, announcing that it was quitting the high-end camera module business in May.
While the iPhone 7 Plus will have a dual camera module setup, the iPhone 7 will have the usual single camera module with OIS.
