The iPhone 16 Pro Max could have a novelty that has been expected for years, it would become a super camera thanks to a periscope lens that would have a quality zoom.
New information emerges from Asia about the future iPhone 16 Pro Max and one periscope camera with a large optical zoom. According to the Weibo social networkthe Digital Chat Station account reports a “super” or “ultra” telephotothese cameras have a focal length over 300mm. Will we finally see that lens that we have wanted so much on an iPhone?
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is chosen to improve the camera with a periscope lens
This is a periscope camera, it takes up a lot of space inside the device
The iPhone 16 Pro Max’s super camera could zoom in on distant subjects. To put the reference numbers, the current iPhone 14 Pro have a focal length of 77 mm. The increase would be drastically large.
Sports photography such as motor racing, soccer, among other fast ones, will be easier to capture with a lens of this caliber. Also portrait photos will be smoother and of unsurpassed quality. One piece of good news is that we will likely see a sneak peek of this lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. By 2024 it is very likely that the periscope lens will be for both iPhone Proconsidering the smallest model.
A larger camera size, will Apple be able to do it?
The design of the iPhone 16 Pro will have larger dimensions due to its cameras
Going deeper into the information, the user who leaked the information indicates that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a camera sensor that will increase by 12%. A size of 1/1.14 inches compared to that of the iPhone 14 Pro Max which is 1/1.28 inches.
Until that happens, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will not have an increase in sensor size. What does having a larger sensor contribute? The dynamic range and blur that makes portraits possible are of better capabilitiesas well as dramatically improve low-light photos.
These changes are expected within a year, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could be the only one that gets a little more improvements. Let’s remember that Apple will try to differentiate its iPhone models as much as possible. The leaker indicates that he has had privileged access to industry information, for which we consider it to be reliable information, although it must be taken with due force since it is iPhone rumors.
The iPhone super camera that we would see in 2024 will be a direct competitor to Samsung and its Ultra range, as well as other competitors such as Huawei and Google. Will Apple be able to surprise us in the coming months with a preview of the iPhone 15 Pro Max?
Without a doubt, the issue of the periscope lens is a pending issue for those of Cupertino. The features of the iPhone in video are excellent, it has always been like this, but in photography it has been due year after year with slight details. The periscope lens on iPhone could be better than its competitors. If so, Apple could give a new hit on the table.
