For its part, Jahwa Electronics has just announced the construction of factories for the production of new optical image stabilization (OIS) actuators, work estimated at 191 billion won (155 million dollars). There is therefore no doubt that the production lines of these factories based in the Gumi region will be reserved for future iPhone models.

It should be noted that Apple employees have already visited the facilities of Jahwa Electronics during the first half of 2021. As a reminder, OIS sensors are absolutely essential in the design of a periscopic sensor: the larger the zoom, the more it must stabilize the camera to prevent the slightest movement from adding blur to the shot.
