It has been almost six months since the iPhone 14 series entered our lives. Although this is not a very long time, Apple has already started working on the iPhone 15 models. As these efforts continue, some information comes to light. The latest piece of information revealed is about the camera features. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to feature 5-6x optical zoom. Here are the details…
iPhone 15 Pro Max Expected to Feature 5-6x Optical Zoom
iPhones often make headlines for their camera performance. Although the company consistently offers improved quality, it lags behind competitors when it comes to new features. For example, Samsung offers up to 100x zoom with both digital and optical zoom, while Apple introduced 3x optical zoom with the iPhone 14 Pro series. When digital is included, this number goes up to 15x. However, rumors suggest that will change this year. The next-gen iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to feature a “periscope lens” that would allow for up to double the optical zoom.
It’s no surprise that Apple will be using a periscope lens in the iPhone 15 Pro Max models. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had made similar claims some time ago and stated that the feature would only be available in Pro models. This type of lens will allow for up to 5-6x zoom. As a result, there will be no loss of quality when capturing an object at a distance with the rear camera.
A periscope lens is like a camera that uses mirrors and lenses to zoom in really far without making the device bigger. It’s based on the periscope used in submarines to see above water while staying hidden. In smartphones, a periscope lens helps to take high-quality zoom photos by bending light through mirrors and keeping the camera small. Many manufacturers such as Samsung and Huawei already use this feature on their products.
