Apple is exploring the possibility of incorporating micro-lens arrays into the screens of its upcoming iPhone 16 series, according to a report from South Korean source The Elec, as cited by MacRumors. This technology could further elevate the brightness of iPhone displays and contribute to reduced power consumption. However, it comes with trade-offs, including potential increases in manufacturing costs and limitations on viewing angles.
Micro-lens arrays, already offered by competitors like Samsung and LG, manipulate the way light is reflected to enhance the perceived screen brightness when viewed head-on. Remarkably, this is achieved while minimizing power usage, which could result in extended battery life for iPhone 16 models.
