The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 5x optical zoom on the back. This is the most powerful ever seen in the range, moreover the iPhone 15 Pro is limited to x3 at most. But this distinction could disappear from the next collection of headed mobiles, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The iPhone 16 Pro would therefore also be entitled to the same photo module withperiscope technologythan the iPhone 16 Pro Max. It is this system that allows you to obtain better magnification, while saving space under the hood.
Ming-Chi Kuo is a renowned researcher who is rarely wrong. This rumor can therefore be considered one of the most reliable of our columns. But zero risk does not exist, and this source may also be wrong.
The success of the iPhone 15 Pro Max
Still according to Ming-Chi Kuo, the demand foriPhone 15 Pro Maxwould be so strong that it would already have been necessary to update the production circuit of subcontractors to cope with it. It must be said that the value proposition is attractive, with a high-end technical sheet capable of overshadowing the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or the Pixel 7 Pro. With this, the lower price of the iPhone 15 Pro Max compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max may also have something to do with it.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is therefore available from 1,479 euros for the version with 256 GB of internal storage, compared to 1,609 euros for the equivalent iPhone 14 Pro Max. But this is not the only range to benefit from a lower price. The iPhone 15, for example, are sold from 969 euros compared to 1,019 euros for the basic iPhone 14.
iPhone 15 Pro Max: what are the photo sensors?
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is first equipped with a main, wide-angle, forty-eight megapixel lens with ƒ/1.78 aperture. To this, we must add a twelve-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with ƒ/2.2 aperture and a telephoto lens of the same definition with ƒ/2.8 aperture. But that's not all. Indeed, optical stabilization by movement of the sensor is included, making it possible to obtain good results even in movement with themode Action.

- 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x for iPhone 15 Pro Max
- 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x for iPhone 15 Pro
In short:
- The iPhone 15 Pro Max is very successful in stores
- The iPhone 16 Pro could also be entitled to x5 optical zoom, like the iPhone 15 Pro Max
- This is unavailable on iPhone 15 Pro
