The iPhone 15 Pro Max will probably have a variable zoom lens

Apple will unveil the iPhone 15 series this year, and so far many rumors have been published about these devices. Now in a new report it is said that iPhone 15 Pro Max It will have a telephoto camera with a variable zoom lens.

As one of the sources on Twitter with the name Revegnus It explains that the iPhone 15 Pro and Max will use the same sensors as the previous generation, but will likely be equipped with a telephoto camera with variable zoom. The Twitter account has been making a lot of revelations over the past few months, but its track record cannot be confirmed.

iPhone 15 Pro Max variable zoom lens

A variable zoom camera, like the one on the Sony Xperia 1 Mark 3, can switch between two focal lengths. This phone has a movable glass that offers two different zoom options (3x and 4.4x) to the user and can zoom between them digitally. Most reports say that the new periscope lens will only be used on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the Pro model will not get it.

Revegnus also mentioned in his tweet that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have the same image sensors as its predecessor, so we can expect the device to be equipped with a 48-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 12-megapixel telephoto unit.

Currently, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has the best zoom among phones. The device has a 10-megapixel telephoto sensor with 3x zoom and a 10-megapixel periscope camera with 10x optical zoom. In contrast, the iPhone 14 Pro Max can only do up to 3x optical zoom. Previous reports have suggested that the Galaxy 24 Ultra will only have a variable zoom camera, and it looks like the iPhone 15 Pro will take the same approach.
