The potential of a periscope lens is rumored to be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Even though it’s not been too long since the release of the iPhone 14, we all know that this industry moves quickly. Especially when it comes to mobile phones. The iPhone 15 is still a number of months away, but let’s take a look at this new periscope lens.

iPhone 15 Pro Max new periscope lens rumor

Several sources have been claiming that the flagship iPhone 15 Pro Max plans to implement a periscope zoom lens. So, what does this mean?

Largan Precision, the world’s biggest smartphone camera lens supplier, is reported to be the only lens supplier for a periscope camera – and it’s coming to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. We hope to see official plans back this up in future.

Periscope cameras provide higher quality while zoomed in. Periscope lens technology offers improved capabilities when it comes to optical zoom – exceeding what you can achieve with a standard telephoto lens. Reports say that a periscope lens can provide up to 10x optical zoom in some cases.

As of right now, it seems that the periscope lens is only in the plans for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, while the Pro will receive the standard zoom lens. This means the more entry level models are limited to the wide and ultra wide lenses, according to MacRumors.

Multiple other high-end phones feature a periscope lens, such as major rivals Samsung – with the Galaxy S23 Ultra. This can only mean that Apple are put under pressure to adopt this technology.
