Apple: Is the iPhone 15 Pro coming with 5x optical zoom?!

Although the 14th generation iPhone has not even been unveiled yet, the first speculations about the iPhone 15’s features are already being made. Especially the camera of the Pro model is in the focus of attention. This should possibly have a camera module with a special periscope zoom.

Camera with 5x optical zoom?

If we’re honest, we have to say that the last big leap in the iPhone lineup happened from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone X. After all, the nearly bezel-less design without a home button revolutionized the entire smartphone market. If the latest rumors are to be believed, the 15th generation of the popular smartphone seems to be the next big step. However, this time the focus is obviously not on the front, but rather on the back. These say that Apple wants to equip the telephoto camera of its iPhone 15 Pro with a special periscope lens. The lens is supposed to enable a five-fold optical zoom. How valid the information is is still a bit questionable. After all, the insider facts come from Jeff Pu.

The Pro models are considered the locking top of the iPhone lineup, and are usually only trumped by the “Pro Max models” when it comes to screen size.

While the insider is notorious for his overly exciting rumors, he has also made a few blunders in his career, which always bring small doubts to his credibility. This time, however, there really seems to be something to it. After all, the statement coincides with other rumors that are already swirling around the upcoming Pro models. For example, it now seems certain that Apple will install a 48 MP main camera in its iPhone 14 Pro, which will possibly be unveiled in September 2022. If the rumors are true, we can expect the next big leap in iPhone camera technology in 2023.

Periscope lens offers many possibilities

If Jeff Pu is right, Apple would have a real selling point up its sleeve for its iPhone 15 Pro. After all, the sophisticated technology opens up many exciting possibilities that should interest content creators in particular. The advantages of the new lens design should be particularly noticeable in the zoom. Since there is more space for lenses due to a different arrangement of lens and sensor, the maximum optical zoom is also increased. While the current top model in the form of the iPhone 13 Pro offers a triple optical zoom, the higher focal length of the iPhone 15 Pro should even enable a fivefold optical zoom. We are curious whether the rumors will prove true.
