Apple is reportedly said to be selling a six-piece lens for the selfie camera. According to Kuo, Genius and Cowell will provide the focusing technology for the iPhone 14. While Genius, located in the United States, is supposed to be the primary provider of the six-piece lens, Cowell, a subsidiary of Luxshare, is said to be the new supplier of VCM technology.

According to reports, Apple has retained Sony as the sensor manufacturer for the iPhone 14's front camera. LG Innotek and Cowell are also said to be the suppliers of colour correction matrix (CCM) technology.

Genius and Largan are said to make the optics for the iPhone 14's selfie camera, while Alps and Luxshare will share VCM technology. By obtaining new component suppliers for the selfie camera, Apple looks to be lessening its dependence on Chinese manufacturers for the iPhone 14.
