The iPhone 15 Pro Max has been rumored on numerous occasions to be Apple’s first flagship to ship with a periscope zoom lens. However, the camera specifications can only improve from here, as one tipster claims that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will get a significant optics upgrade when it launches in 2024. Here are more details that you will be interested in.
Tipster refers to the iPhone 16 Pro Max periscope camera as ‘super telephoto,’ also shares that sensor size will be bigger than the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s
First, let us talk about the individual sensor size, with Digital Chat Station claiming on Weibo that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 1/1.14-inch unit. By comparison, both the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max feature a 1/1.28-inch sensor, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max camera is said to retain the same size. There was a rumor doing the rounds stating that the iPhone 15 Pro Max would be treated to the advanced Sony IMX903 sensor, but that appears to be reserved for the iPhone 16 Pro Max for next year.
A larger sensor’s primary advantage will be capturing more light, improving the iPhone’s dynamic range while reducing the noise level in low-light conditions. Coming to the periscope camera upgrade, the tipster did not mention the exact specifications, but we have learned, thanks to previous rumors, that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a maximum optical zoom limit of 6x, so it will not be surprising to hear the iPhone 16 Pro Max can support up to 10x lossless zoom.
The term ‘super telephoto’ likely refers to capturing objects and other details while positioning the camera at a longer distance. Since the exact specifications of the iPhone 16 Pro Max have yet to be mentioned, we cannot comment on how capable the entire setup will be. However, according to a previous report, the iPhone 16 Pro will also get a periscope lens, but the exact zoom limit details were not mentioned.
It is possible that the iPhone 16 Pro Max supports a higher zoom level than its smaller cousin, but without additional information, we cannot comment on these specifications, so stay tuned for more updates from our end.
