A new report claims that the iPhone, in its Pro iterations, will have a dazzling new camera system. But there’s a snag…
Why this matters is that although digital zooms have become much better since machine learning was applied to them, they still create inferior images to the non-zoomed image good glass can deliver. To be able to offer 10x zoom instead of 3x is very appealing to many. The 10x of a periscope camera represents pure optical zoom, not digital.
It had previously been suggested a periscope could have appeared on this year’s iPhone 14 Pro but it seems it’s going to take longer. Jeff Pu isn’t the first person predicting this. So is Ming-Chi Kuo, the highly reliable analyst from TFI Securities. The fact that two big-name analysts have reached the same conclusion doesn’t mean it will definitely happen, but it certainly raises the likelihood.
Whenever it comes, Apple won’t have been the first to use periscope cameras. The Huawei Mate 40 Pro+, which has one of the best smartphone cameras ever built, I’d say, uses a periscope camera that boasts an equivalent zoom of 10x compared to the main camera. The latest Google Pixel phone, the Pixel 6 Pro, has a periscope camera. The telephoto sensor is 4x zoom equivalent, compared to the main camera, and while that’s not as high as the Huawei, Google has pulled off a different trick: this camera has a 48MP sensor where the Huawei phone only has an 8MP sensor.
The latest report says that 10x is the zoom expected on the iPhone camera, too. It’s thought that the periscope will only come to the Pro versions of the iPhone 15, not all of them. No surprise there—every Pro camera has upgraded the camera of the regular iPhone.
