A New Periscope Camera
Even though some features are exclusive to the Pro lineup, Apple is constantly trying to improve the camera system across all of its iPhone models.
And fortunately, this year won’t be any different. According to rumors, besides the expected improvements to the camera, we will also see a new periscope lens on at least one of the iPhone 15 Pro models.
This new lens would let the iPhone 15 use anywhere between 5x and 10x optical zoom while taking photos. Other phones in the market that have a periscope camera typically reach up to 10x zoom, but most reports suggest Apple will stick to 6x this time around.
To put it in perspective, the current iPhone 14 Pro only has a 3x optical zoom through the telephoto lens, so this would be an amazing change for people who love taking pictures.
Initial rumors said that this feature would be available on the entire iPhone 15 Pro lineup; however, more recent rumors claim that the periscope lens will only be available on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, so you better keep saving your money if you want the best optical zoom.
