With periscope zoom technology, we can expect significant improvements to the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s zoom capabilities. The iPhone 14 Pro Max, for example, is limited to 3x zoom, but the iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to have between 5x and 10x zoom.

While these specs may be true, they make no sense.
Why would the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have faster optics than the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. That has a potentially significant negative affect low light capabilities of the Pro and the Pro Max. Sure, it’s only a degradation from 1.6 to 1.78, but why?
So far, I am very satisfied with the iphone 12 pro max optics… for me, the 15 pro max will be just fantastic!!!
I too like the 12 Pro Max though the software processing over-sharpens and is generally more aggressive than I like.
Can get the latest DJI Air 3 drone with a FlyMore kit for these prices, which I intend to do. All use cases for me are sufficiently met with my last iPhone SE. Sustaining incremental improvements that over deliver, but just for me.
Wish I had little birdies telling me cool stuff.
The Back camera is 480i, from what celebrities use it for and the crappy pictures they put out on a thousand dollar phone, totally believable. Probably a Blackberry from the 2000’s can make a better picture.
