Here are the detailed camera specs of the iPhone 15 series

06 September 2023
The 15 and 15 Plus get a bump to 48MP, the Pro and Pro Max get new ultrawides, the Pro Max gets a periscope.

Sort by:

IDK why people are upset about Zoom level. Would you really prefer to have shitty x30 than perfect x3? I would not. I like to have a perfect one 3x-4x max than a shitty x10000 just to have it and shoot oil paintings of some far away objects.

    Haha 4x telephoto? On a $1200 phone in 2023 and only 12.7mp as well, what a joke.
    apple really know how to drag and milk their customers into the ground, so a titanium frame that nobody cares about, thinner bezels which isn’t exactly a feature and a massive jump in telephoto from 3x to 4x 😂, literally the only worthwhile addition is USB C, hopefully they are wrong on this information regarding the camera

        It would be quite surprising, if the periscope only has a field of view of 85mm and only 12.7 megapixels. It totally contradicts Kuo's prediction. It would be good to take portrait photos, but then they could still have used a Quad Bayer sensor with 49 megapixels.

        I have a Pixel 7 Pro (periscope has a field of view of 116mm) and as it leverages the 48 megapixel sensor (in contrast to the 6 Pro, which ignores the high resolution mode), 240mm or 360mm gives you significantly more detail from distant objects than 116mm. Especially when you combine 240mm or 360mm with the short Night Sight mode. (But at night, the 7 Pro ignores the high resolution mode due to read noise and only uses the 12 megapixel mode of the sensor.) But also note that I have tested multiple Pixel 7 Pro and each one behaves differently. That was the point when I realized that it doesn't make sense to write a smartphone camera review when every unit performs differently.

          iPhone 13 mini was the last solid one 💔 now they want to go even bigger wtf

              „With iPhone 15 Pro Max, we introduced a new 4x lossless zoom. Today, we are taking things even further. The new iPhone 16 Pro Max has 8x lossless zoom thanks to a quad bayer sensor. And the same lens is available on iPhone 16 Pro, increasing the maximum lossless zoom from 3x to 8x compared to iPhone 15 Pro.“

New Info on Pixel 8 P... moreI hope Google improves that section, because in my old pixel 7 pro it was a duty and instability when zooming far away that you freaked out, which did not happen in my old galaxy s21 ultra a device from 2021 and the 7 pro from the end of 2022 unacceptable

                    48mp with a classic Bayer could lossessly zoom from 4x to 8x, if it was 50mp+ or final resolution 8mp it could be 10x.

                          if 16 Pro goes 6.3 inch, I want 16 to be 5.8 inch. Enough of these ever bigger phones.

                              All leaks from China? Oh I know the iPhone factory is there.

                                Careless Apple.

                                Anyway, good to know.

                                  Lmao in typical fashion, Apple only brings the periscope zoom to the iPhone Pro Max model.

                                      i thought the iPhone 15 Pro Max is gonna be named 'iPhone 15 Ultra' while it has a periscope like for example: S23 Ultra, Mi 13 Ultra
