Subj : iPhone 16 Pro tipped to inherit the best new camera feature of th To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Tue Sep 19 2023 11:45:03 iPhone 16 Pro tipped to inherit the best new camera feature of the iPhone 15 Pro Max Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2023 10:37:42 +0000 Description: Want a periscope zoom camera without the Max size? Wait for the iPhone 16 Pro. FULL STORY ====================================================================== For the first time since the iPhone 12 Pro Max, Apples latest Pro and Pro Max iPhones are separated by more than just display and battery size, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max boasting a superior tetraprism periscope zoom camera to the iPhone 15 Pro s more conventional 3x telephoto camera. This impressive photography feature isnt expected to remain exclusive to Apples Pro Max iPhones forever, though. According to serial Apple tipster Ming-Chi Kuo , the iPhone 16 Pro, which is all but certain to arrive in September next year, will likewise benefit from a periscope zoom camera. This is a rumor weve heard a couple of times already once from Kuo himself , prior to the launch of the iPhone 15 line, and elsewhere in a separate report from Korean outlet The Elec so were confident of its authenticity. Rumors surrounding the respective screen sizes of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max seemingly corroborate this prediction, too. Ross Young, another Apple tipster, has previously claimed that the iPhone 16 Pro will boast a 6.3-inch display i.e. one thats large enough to house a complex periscope camera system (its thought that the 6.1-inch display size of the iPhone 15 Pro isnt large enough to facilitate such a lens). As for how Apple's periscope zoom camera which simulates the effects of a 120mm lens to deliver better close-ups works in the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the company says that the light rays are reflected four times through the glass structure [of the lens], allowing the light to travel for longer in a much smaller design. This creates enough separation between the lens and the sensor to enable the longer focal length. Weve taken a number of photos with the iPhone 15 Pro Maxs periscope lens, which well be sharing in our full review of the device once Apples embargo lifts, but for our early impressions of this innovative photography technology, head over to our hands-on iPhone 15 Pro Max review . An even better camera for the iPhone 16 Pro Max? The iPhone 15 Pro Max (above) could be the last Pro Max iPhone with a 6.7-inch display (Image credit: Future / Lance Ulanoff) The addition of a periscope zoom lens on the iPhone 16 Pro wont necessarily bring parity between the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, however. According to some leakers, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could get whats known as a super-telephoto periscope camera an upgrade made possible by the phones rumored 6.9-inch display. Super telephoto is a term used to describe lenses with focal lengths of over 300mm, those which enable photographers to capture close-up images of distant scenes and subjects, like sporting events and wildlife. Apples iPhone 15 Pro Max is certain to rank among the best camera phones on the market, but this super-telephoto periscope camera would represent a potentially game-changing upgrade for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. As such, there may be an equally large technological gap between the next generation of Apples best iPhones , with Apple's standard-sized Pro iPhones destined to remain semi-flagship devices for the foreseeable future.
