During the launch conference IPhone 15 seriesApple said that the iPhone 15 Pro Max provides optical zoom of up to 5x at 120 mm, and although this is considered the longest optical zoom ever on an iPhone, it does not come close to the optical zoom on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, which reaches 10x. During this article, we will learn why the iPhone 15 Pro Max is limited to 5x optical zoom only.
iPhone 15 Pro Max camera
In an interview with John McCormack, Apple's vice president of camera software engineering, he said that the telephoto lens in the iPhone 15 Pro Max features an automatic camera lens stabilization system that can be described as the company's most advanced yet, with a combination of... Optical image stabilization and XNUMXD autofocus sensor switching module.
McCormack said that the device's 5x zoom lens is incredibly stable compared to the 10x lens, which in order to work effectively needs to be described as the world's most stable or tripod, otherwise it will be difficult to use, and you will not capture clear images from a greater distance.
And Apple invented A prism Quadruple, which is a folded glass structure under the lens. Its function is to reflect light rays four times, and this helps the light transmit for a longer period. Thus, it gives the user a longer focal length to be able to capture distant images without distortion.
Maxime Veron, senior director of iPhone product marketing, added that the iPhone 15 Pro Max lens opens at ƒ/2.8, which allows for excellent light management. As for the Galaxy S23 Ultra phone lens, it comes with an ƒ/4.9 aperture, which allows the lower aperture to capture more light through the camera sensor, and this can be especially useful when the user is photographing in night mode.
Finally, 5x optical zoom is exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, with the iPhone 15 Pro remaining limited to 3x optical zoom, and rumors indicate that Apple is planning to expand the quad-lens system to come to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models next year. 2024.

Usually numbers are truer than words, but Apple proves through previous experiences that the opposite sometimes happens. The iPhone practically breaks numbers
Hello Moataz 🙌, Just like you said, Apple always proves that numbers are not everything. In the case of the iPhone, quality and performance matter more than the numbers written on paper! The phone provides a unique user experience that cannot be compared to any other phone. Therefore, we find that the iPhone always breaks numbers as well as the hearts of competitors 😉🍏💚.
Just words on paper, and a comparison was made between the Zoom and the S23, which is noticeably better.
Raising the optical zoom is up to next year's release of the iPhone 17, a policy of distillation in the user's mind

I'm an unbelievable Apple fanatic
But the reality of photography in the Galaxy is amazing and can only be compared to professional cameras
Hello Ahmed 🙋♂️, indeed the Galaxy camera is considered a strong competitor, but we will not forget that Apple focuses on image quality and stability more than optical zoom. However, the iPhone 15 Pro Max offers up to 5x optical zoom with great image stabilization 📸. Apple is expected to continue developing its cameras in upcoming models. There's always room for improvement, right? 😄👍🏼
Unfortunately, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is sold out in Saudi Arabia, specifically in Jeddah. Is Apple supposed to release large quantities?!
What an annoying surprise, oh ʀᴀɢᴇʜ ѕᴘɪᴅᴇʀ 𖣔! 🙁 But remember, the good is worth the wait. Until then, enjoy the growing excitement around the iPhone 15 Pro Max. 📱😉
I believe that Apple's trick to pass the price of the iPhone XNUMX Pro Max will have a negative impact on Apple's profits from the iPhone.
Simply put, it's up to next year 🤥
What I understood from the topic is that Miss Apple is telling us that the Zoom X5 is better than the Zoom X10. Well done, Miss.
Hi Mustafa, 😊 I know the numbers can be a bit misleading. But, in fact, the 5x zoom on the iPhone 15 Pro Max is better than the 10x zoom on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The reason for this is that the iPhone's 5x zoom lens is incredibly stabilized compared to a 10x lens which needs a stable mount to work effectively. This means your iPhone photos will be clearer and more stable even from greater distances. 📸🍏
I find it exaggerated, and the image quality of the Samsung mobile is better in terms of color sharpness
The same move was made by Apple in the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
This is actually a smart idea to market the 15 Pro Max.
Hello Salman 🖐️ Indeed, Apple uses this strategy to market its products in a smart way. Innovation and continuous improvement of the product is part of the company's DNA. This always gives users something new to enjoy in every new release. 😊📱💡
