[ Tinydeal Technology News]On July 18, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple will use a new compact camera module (CCM) supplier for MacBook models equipped with the next-generation M5 chip in 2025. Ming-Chi Kuo wrote in his latest investor memo that Apple will purchase the CCM needed for the M5 MacBook from Sunny Optical. The Chinese optical lens company will mass-produce CCMs in Vietnam and provide new laptops with a complete imaging system integrated into a compact form factor.
Currently, LG Innotek and Sharp mainly supply M5 MacBook camera module. However, Sunny Optical has a unique advantage within Apple’s optical component supply chain. It is the only supplier offering both CCM and lenses in one package. This allows for seamless integration. If M5 MacBook shipments perform well, Kuo predicts that Sunny Optical could become Apple’s main CCM supplier. This might extend to future iPhone and iPad models.
Apple plans to update its 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 chip before the end of 2024. It will also update the high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips. Apple has not reported any design changes for the 2024 update. However, Apple is likely to launch a new MacBook in 2025. This model will feature the M5 chip and may adopt a thinner design. The design may draw inspiration from the ultra-thin iPad Pro launched in 2024. Apple is working hard to provide the “thinnest and lightest” products in each product category.
The release time of the thinner MacBook Pro is unclear. However, there is speculation that Apple may launch a redesigned laptop with the M5 chip in 2025. Additionally, Apple is rumored to be developing Face ID for Mac. The MacBook Pro is expected to launch with this feature as one of the first models.
