iPhone 16 Pro rumored to get a tetraprism camera with 5x zoom
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is Apple's first iPhone to feature a periscope zoom lens. The handset has a tetraprism lens, something unique in the industry so far. The extra "bending" of the prism to improve optical zoom reduces the amount of internal space taken up by the telephoto camera. Apple is looking to maximize battery size on its devices, so it needs all the room it can get.
Internal space is probably one of the reasons the smaller iPhone 15 Pro lacks a zoom camera. Cost is another. The iPhone 15 Pro Max isn't technically more expensive than its predecessor. But there's no 128GB version of the handset. So you have to spend $100 more for the cheapest version.
Rumors have said that Apple plans to bring a periscope lens to the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. New developments now signal that the upgrade is inevitable, and that's great news.
