iPhone 15 Pro models to get big camera upgrades
While Apple finally unveiled the biggest upgrades to the iPhone camera last year, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is rumored to feature a telephoto zoom lens. As an Apple enthusiast, you shouldn’t get your hopes high because it is reported that only iPhone 15 Pro Max will be getting the periscope zoom.
That’s not all, as per leakster @Unknownz21, the camera setup on the iPhone 15 Pro Max will also see some minor changes. The upgraded telephoto lens (periscope) will sit on top of the main camera, however, it will likely be placed between the LiDAR scanner and flash.
More Periscope details:
After a bit of research, I’ve discovered that the periscope design used in the iPhone 15 Pro Max (and D93 / D94) very closely resembles a design found in an Apple patent application.

In understandable words, the periscope lens will swap places with the ultrawide camera. According to multiple leaks, the periscope lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max will allow you to get 5x to 6x optical zoom, which is a notable upgrade over
iPhone 14 Pro models with 3x optical zoom.
