If and when, the samples get approval, they will be included in the “high-end models of the iPhone 15 lineup”.

Moreover, most likely, the manufacturer may be Lante Optics, and expectations are that 100 million units will be just for Apple.
For those who don’t know, periscope lenses aren’t new and are already available on a handful of Android smartphones. They allow the optics assembly of longer telephoto cameras to be horizontal and thus fit in modern slim phones. Although Android phones have continued to feature this technology for years now.
