China-based O-Film Image Technology (Guangzhou) is in process of certification by Apply for supplying lens modules for use in iPhone, according to China-based media reports.
China-based optical component and lens maker OFilm Group in 2016 acquired O-film Image mainly for making iPhone-use lens modules, the sources said. OFilm dropped out of Apple's supply chain in March 2021, and in May sold O-Film Image to China-based Wingtech Technology, which has been striving to return to the iPhone supply chain, the sources noted.
Wingtech has passed Apple's OEM certification for new MacBook Air models and will begin the production in 2022, the sources indicated, adding that Apple is likely to choose other China-based OEMs for Mac series.
