Subj : iPhone 15 Ultra could get a huge camera upgrade to take on the Ga To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Mon Apr 17 2023 11:45:03 iPhone 15 Ultra could get a huge camera upgrade to take on the Galaxy S24 Ultra Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2023 10:27:41 +0000 Description: The iPhone 15 Ultra is rumored to pack a telephoto camera with a variable zoom lens. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Only last week, we published a story explaining how the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra's zoom capabilities could leave Apples iPhones in the dust but a new rumor suggests the iPhone 15 Ultra will come with the camera tech to rival Samsungs next Galaxy flagship, after all. According to serial Apple tipster Revengus , the iPhone 15 Ultra will arrive packing a telephoto camera with a variable zoom lens; the same setup rumored to feature on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra our current pick for the best phone currently on the market already features two telephoto cameras, but its successor is expected to replace the formers 3x and 10x lenses with a single telephoto sensor with a variable system that allows it to move optically between these degrees of magnification. The iPhone 14 Pro Max , in contrast, can only optically zoom up to 3x; so the rumored addition of any variable zoom lens to the iPhone 15 Ultra is particularly significant for Apple. iPhone 15 Pro max,Same image sensor as its predecessorTelephoto camera with variable zoom April 15, 2023 See more Variable optical zoom cameras are exceptionally rare among todays smartphones. As noted in our aforementioned article, the Sony Xperia 1 IV uses one, but its only capable of zooming between 3.5x and 5.2x. So, if both Samsung and Apple can add variable zoom lenses (with superior ranges) to their respective upcoming flagships, our ranking of the best camera phones is in for a serious shake-up. As with all rumors, though, some caveats must be added. For starters, weve heard more iPhone 15 rumors in recent weeks than we can shake a stick at, with some like the news that the iPhone 15 Pro could get solid-state volume and power buttons being both corroborated and denied in the space of a few days. We wouldnt be surprised, then, if a new rumor emerges tomorrow that contradicts todays reports of an iPhone 15 Ultra with a variable zoom lens. In any case, its exciting to think that the possibility even exists. iPhone 15 Ultra: what else to expect The iPhone 15 Ultra is expected to arrive in place of an iPhone 15 Pro Max (Image credit: Apple) As for what other features are expected to arrive with the iPhone 15 Ultra, weve heard that the device will at the very least be getting more advanced image processing capabilities than its Pro-level counterpart, the iPhone 15 Pro. On the design front, unofficial iPhone 15 Ultra renders have hinted at a USB-C port, a slightly shallower camera bump and a curvier chassis than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, while the phone could be clad in titanium, too (which is typically stronger and lighter than the stainless steel used by current iPhones). Despite using the same processor, the iPhone 15 Ultra is rumored to be even more powerful than the iPhone 15 Pro, with one source claiming that the formers software won't limit the phone as much as it will on the Pro model . The only real reason the software would limit it in the first place is to stop the phone overheating, so that also suggests the iPhone 15 Ultra might have a better cooling system. Were keeping tabs on all the latest iPhone 15 Ultra rumors as and when they appear, so stay tuned to TechRadar in the run-up to this years potentially-seismic iPhone reveal event. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/news/iphone-15-ultra-could-get-a-huge-camera-upgrade -to-take-on-the-galaxy-s24-ultra --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
