“The iPhone 15 Pro Max Introduces 5x Optical Zoom Lens for Enhanced Zooming Capabilities, Allowing for 25x Digital Zoom.
While this marks a significant improvement over previous iPhone models, it falls short of the competition.
Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra boasts a 100x Space Zoom, and the Pixel 7 Pro offers a 30x digital ‘Super Res Zoom’ with its 5x optical zoom.
Apple has traditionally prioritized optical zoom over digital zoom for better image quality.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max also shares other camera enhancements with its sibling, including a larger sensor for the 48-megapixel main camera, variable focal lengths, an updated 13mm Ultra Wide camera, and improved optical image stabilization.”
