If you’ve been waiting for the long-anticipated arrival of a periscope zoom lens for theiPhone, we’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that it’s reportedly coming to theiPhone 15Pro Max, aka theiPhone15 Ultra. The bad news is that it won’t come to the iPhone 15 Pro.
When will the periscope zoom come to the iPhone Pro?
According to the aforementioned reports, Apple is giving the Pro Max a year’s head start before bringing the periscope lens to the iPhone 16 Pro in 2024. Presumably – space permitting, as these are smaller devices – the remaining iPhones will get the upgrade for the iPhone 17 range in 2025.
It’s a shame that the Pro isn’t also getting the zoom, because that’s one area where the iPhone falls short of rivals such as theSamsung Galaxy S22 Ultrawith its spectacular zoom options. Until now Apple has upgraded the camera setups in the Pro and Pro Max at the same time; changing that does feel rather like Apple is trying to squeeze even more cash from its most profitable phone buyers.
