analyst Ming Chi Kuo says it appears that the iPhone 14's rear lenses have caused problems for a supplier, prompting Apple to adjust its component orders until the manufacturing issue is resolved.
Recently Ming Chi Kuo reported that some iPhone 14 Display and RAM makers had "experienced supply issues," but Apple was able to switch orders to alternatives. Now he says a lens-making issue has received a similar fix, with Apple temporarily moving its component ordering to another company.

Another quality issue. My latest survey shows that one of the Genius iPhone 14 rear lenses probably suffered from quality issues with coating cracks (). Apple had transferred about 10 million lens orders from Genius to Largan to avoid disrupting iPhone 14 shipments. https://t.co/CsQtmHLZjy
Later in the same Twitter thread, Kuo says any delays caused by the issue will be negligible.
"The impact on iPhone 14 shipments can almost be ignored as Largan is good at filling the supply gap," he wrote. “Experience shows that the problem of the lens coating with cracks should be fixed within 1-2 months. But if Genius cannot solve the problem, Largan will continue to receive more orders.”
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 14 lineup in September. Some previous rumours but have pointed to a significant upgrade in the rear view cameras most sources Expect the new phones to be very similar to that iPhone 13
