The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to boast a periscope lens, a feature that will not be available on any other model within the iPhone 15 family. This exclusive feature is expected to drive customers towards the most expensive model of the series.
A periscope lens is a technology that utilizes a prism and a sequence of lenses to enhance the optical zoom capacity of a device without making it thicker. While the technology has long been rumored to arrive on a future iPhone, leaker @URedditor recently claimed that it will only be present in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
@URedditor shared this information in a tweet, stating that they have “finally received independent confirmation” that the periscope lens will be an exclusive feature of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, no further details were provided by the leaker, who stated that “no other details can be released at this time.”
Despite the lack of information, @URedditor did respond to a question from a follower who inquired whether the camera layout would be altered. The leaker’s response was “not really,” indicating that the periscope lens may be the only major difference in the camera setup.
Rumors of the periscope lens have been circulating for some time, with initial reports suggesting that it would only be present on the Pro models. However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had previously suggested that it could be introduced across the entire iPhone 16 range.
In January 2023, Kuo updated his position, stating that only the “highest-end model” of the iPhone 16 series will feature a periscope camera. This seems to support @URedditor’s claim that the periscope lens will be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
