Apple is anticipated to introduce an upgraded camera system with periscope technology, featuring a potential 6x zoom, in its upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max. Reports suggest that Apple has further plans for next year.
According to a reliable source from China, Digital Chat Station, the forthcoming iPhone model will incorporate a “periscope-ultra-telephoto combination.” Although the specific iPhone variant remains unspecified, it is reasonable to expect that the iPhone 16 will also benefit from this advanced camera technology.
While precise details are currently unavailable, Apple is expected to continue refining the zoom functionality, with a strong focus on sensor enhancements in the coming years. Notably, this year’s iteration of the technology is exclusive to the Max model, but next year, the Pro model is also likely to receive these improvements.
Apple iPhone 2024: Embracing a Larger Sensor
In addition to the aforementioned camera advancements, reports indicate that the main camera of the iPhone is set to receive a significantly larger sensor (1/1.14″) by 2024. A larger sensor size typically results in enhanced light intake, thereby enabling the iPhone to capture even better photographs.
As an enthusiast, I am particularly excited about the forthcoming Zoom capabilities. While the main camera and ultra-wide angle lenses have met my expectations thus far, I perceive the zoom function as an area with room for improvement. Consequently, the introduction of periscope technology promises to be a noteworthy step forward.
