Is it expected to use periscope telephoto lens for iPhone 14? What is the possibility of two-sided analysis?

Today, Apple has obtained a camera patent called "Folding Camera", which can integrate a camera module composed of multiple lenses into mobile devices, thus bringing better shooting results. Simply put, this patent is similar to a periscope lens. If this patent application is successful, the new iPhone in the future will be expected to be equipped with a periscope telephoto lens to achieve stronger zooming ability and playability. There will also be great improvement.

From the time point of view, this patent may be mass-produced on the iPhone model launched next year, which means that there is a great chance for iPhone 14. However, periscope lens also has some disadvantages, that is, it is expensive and bulky. That is to say, if iPhone wants to install periscope lens, it needs to overcome the control of the internal space of the fuselage, and the price also means that it will not be very low.

At present, the internal space is still very important for the iPhone. After all, Apple has been wearing the hat of "poor battery life" for a long time, and never thought about increasing the battery capacity. So will Apple make concessions in the internal space just because of an image upgrade? Moreover, the price of the new iPhone is really not low. If the price of periscope lens rises again, will more users be willing to pay the bill? So all this is still uncertain.
