iPhone 15 Ultra’da Değişken Yakınlaştırma Lensi Olacakmış!

Apple’s rumor mill has been quite active lately, with many leaks and speculations surrounding the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, it is natural to be skeptical about any leak, and the latest one coming from Twitter tipster Revegnus is no exception. According to the leak, the iPhone 15 Pro Max could come with a telephoto camera equipped with a variable zoom lens.

Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra currently holds the title of smartphone zoom king, with one 10MP telephoto unit with 3x zoom and one 10MP periscope camera with 10x optical zoom. In contrast, the iPhone 14 Pro Max can only zoom optically up to 3x. Recent rumors suggested that the rumored Galaxy S24 Ultra would only feature one variable zoom camera, and it looks like the iPhone 15 Pro will also take the same approach.

A variable zoom camera, like the one on Sony Xperia 1 III, can switch between two focal lengths. The phone has a moving glass to give you two different zooms (3x and 4.4x) and can zoom digitally between them. This is not the same as the Xperia 1 IV’s continuous zoom range where the range is fluid and the lens works like a full-size zoom lens.

If the leak is legit, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will offer versatility and essentially give you two telephoto cameras. The iPhone 14 Pro Max’s camera bump is already quite big, so it makes sense for Apple to go for a telephoto lens with an optically adjusting focal length instead of equipping its next phone with two telephoto lenses. This would make it better equipped to win the title of the best camera phone of the year. Revegnus says that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have the same image sensors as its predecessor, meaning we can expect a 48MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide shooter, and 12MP telephoto unit.

Most reports suggest that the new periscope lens will be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which might be called iPhone 15 Ultra, and the Pro model will not get the folded setup.

While the rumor surrounding the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s variable zoom lens sounds exciting, it is important to take it with a grain of salt until Apple confirms it. However, if the leak is legit, it will make the iPhone 15 Pro Max a strong contender for the best camera phone of the year title.
