The iPhone 15 Pro Max features a 5x telephoto camera, which is a big upgrade over the 3x telephoto sensor on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, Apple doesn’t offer the 5x telephoto camera on the iPhone 15 Pro. Last month, a report from Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that the company will fix that with the next lineup of smartphones by offering a 5x telephoto camera on the iPhone 16 Pro as well in addition to offering it on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Well, today we have confirmation from another source on the matter.
In a new press release, TrendForce says “Following the successful launch of the iPhone 15 Pro Max with its exclusive Tetraprism telephoto zoom lens, the industry is expected to see an increase in the adoption of periscopic lens modules. Apple plans to bring this advanced hardware upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro, making it accessible to more users in the Pro series,” conforming that Apple will offer a 5x telephoto camera on the iPhone 16 Pro.
The previous report from Kuo also claims that Apple will offer 48MP ultrawide cameras on the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max, a massive upgrade over 12MP sensors on the current models. While these reports bring good news from Apple fans, the two phones are still early in the development stage, which means that Apple could change its plans to offer these cameras at any point. So, don’t keep your expectations too high.
