The iPhone 15 Pro Max is rumored to sport a groundbreaking periscope zoom camera capable of optically magnifying images up to 10x (though some sources suggest it might max out at 6x). In stark contrast, the iPhone 14 Pro Max offered a 3x optical zoom capability.
The exclusivity of this periscope lens to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, owing to its expansive display, is expected to be a significant draw for photography enthusiasts. Ming-Chi Kuo even hints that the iPhone 16 Pro may be the first standard-sized iPhone to embrace this innovative lens.
The projected popularity of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, despite the potential astronomical price tag, underscores the hunger of iPhone users for substantial camera innovation after years of incremental upgrades. In fact, it has stirred the desire of even the most skeptical users, such as TechRadar’s Managing Editor for Mobile Computing, Roland Moore-Coyler, who penned an article titled “The iPhone 15 Pro Max may finally convince me to buy a big iPhone.”
