Apple iPhone 15 typically provides detailed information about their product specifications and features when they release a new iPhone model. You can also refer to Apple's official press releases and announcements for official information on the iPhone 15 Pro Max's camera features.
iPhone 15 Pro Max
Ultra Wide Camera: 13.4 megapixels, ƒ/2.2 aperture
Telephoto Camera: 12.7 megapixels, ƒ/2.8 aperture, periscope lens
Main Camera: 48 megapixels, Sony IMX-803 image sensor, ƒ/1.78 aperture
Along with periscope zoom, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will include the same 48-megapixel IMX-803 image sensor and Ultra Wide and Telephoto cameras as the iPhone 15 Pro.
In 2024, the iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to increase in size to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, giving Apple space for the periscope lens in both the Pro and Pro Max models. As noted by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, periscope zoom will not be limited to the larger Pro Max in the iPhone 16 lineup.
Apple likely decided to make the periscope lens exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max for now due to space constraints. According to information from our sources, the camera module used in the iPhone 15 Pro Max is, to a certain extent, larger than the camera module in the iPhone 14 Pro models and the smaller iPhone 15 Pro. Apple appears to have increased the size of the camera module to accommodate the periscope lens hardware, which in turn required other internal components like the mid frame assembly to be shifted accordingly.
Unlike most cameras that have an image sensor directly underneath the camera lens, folded optics systems use angled mirrors to reflect light toward the image sensor. The directional shift is what allows for optical zoom that surpasses what's possible using a standard telephoto camera system.
Unveiling the Cutting-Edge Production of the iPhone 15 Pro Max
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is the most interesting in the lineup by far. Mac Rumors has confirmed with industry sources that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be equipped with an entirely new periscope lens system for the Telephoto camera, confirming previous claims from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. 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.
iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Plus
Main Camera: 48-megapixel image sensor, ƒ/1.6 aperture
Ultra Wide Camera: 12-megapixel image sensor, ƒ/2.4 aperture
No significant upgrades are expected for the Ultra Wide camera, which is expected to continue to have a 12-megapixel resolution and an ƒ/2.4 aperture.
There is evidence that Apple tested different configurations of the base model iPhone 15, one of which featured the rumored stacked camera sensor system, while the other did not. It is currently unclear whether or not the stacked sensor system is present on the final units. Stacked camera sensors allow for faster readout speeds and improved low-light imaging.
The iPhone 15 is not expected to use the Sony IMX-803 image sensor from the iPhone 14 Pro, and will instead use a different Sony sensor with improved capabilities.
The base iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models are expected to feature an all-new 48-megapixel Sony image sensor, which is a substantial upgrade from the 12-megapixel Main camera on the iPhone 14. The increase in megapixels will allow for higher resolution images with improved detail. It's worth noting that this claim has been made repeatedly by a variety of sources – including industry analysts Jeff Pu and Ming-Chi Kuo, along with Weibo user "Digital Chat Station."
