We only have a few months left before the iPhone 14 series is officially launched by Apple. Although the device has yet to be launched, rumors about the iPhone 15 have begun to be heard once again from leading analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
According to him the periscope camera system will be used by the iPhone eventually but only on the iPhone 15 Pro Max model. He added the periscope camera system is matched with a 1/3 ″ 12MP sensor with an f/2.8 lens. The shift sensor stabilization system will be retained but this time the camera is capable of digital zoom up to 6X well. Then on the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, only then will these two devices be equipped with a periscope zoom mechanism. Other models will only use digital zoom.
The performance of this camera is still behind the Galaxy S22 Ultra which can do optical zoom up to 10X seamlessly. The strategy only provides the most salient features on the premium models pursued by Apple. Previously, the use of the Shift Sensor was only given to the iPhone 12 Pro model before being expanded to all iPhone 13 models.
