The iPhone 15 Pro Max could be in a class of its own if this rumor is true. Apple’s highest-end flagship will reportedly boast the first periscope zoom lens on an iPhone, enabling a much more powerful optical zoom than the current max of 3x. The new zoom will allegedly go up to 6x optical, though the digital zoom range remains unclear.
Unfortunately, the regular iPhone 15 Pro will likely be stuck at 3x zoom and the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus may forgo a telephoto lens again. And that sucks for a $799 phone. The entry-level Galaxy S23 has a telephoto zoom.
