The iPhone 15 Pro Max could feature a special 5-6X periscope camera lens, which could make it better in terms of camera system performance. Here we know.
Although the release of the iPhone 15 series is still a few months away, news about its specifications has started pouring in. According to a recent tweet by UReditor via MacRumors, it seems highly likely that only the larger iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature a special 5-6X periscope camera lens, which could make it better in terms of camera system performance.
For those who are unaware, Apple has a history of offering better cameras with its bigger phones. For example, with the iPhone 7 and 8 series, the larger Plus model had an additional telephoto lens. Similarly, with the iPhone 12 Pro models, the iPhone 12 Pro Max exclusively sports a larger sensor. However, with the iPhone 13 Pro and 14 Pro models, Apple offered the same camera system in both the smaller 6.1″ and 6.7″ variants. With the iPhone 15 Pro models, however, that trend may change once again.
Notably, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had earlier predicted that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature 5-6X optical zoom, as compared to the 3X offered by the outgoing iPhone 14 Pro model. These are still just rumors at this point and should be taken with a grain of salt.
However, it is possible that the standard iPhone 15 Pro will be limited by space constraints and thus not have the same zoom capability as its larger counterpart.
If we look at the Android side of things, only devices with screen sizes larger than 6.5 inches, such as the ‘Ultra’ models, have extreme zoom capabilities. Samsung, for example, only offers a 3X telephoto lens with the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus, while reserving the 10X periscope lens for the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
