iPhone 15 Pro is expected to include a 5x periscope camera TechAlert24

A new report claims that the iPhone 15 Pro models will have a 5x periscope camera, while leaks about the iPhone 14 continue to make headlines. According to 9To5mac, a periscope lens with 5x optical zoom will be included in the iPhone 15 Pro models in 2023, according to well-known analyst Jeff Pu. A Cupertino-based firm has already received samples of the unit, according to the analyst, and will decide by May 2022.

If the samples are approved, the unit will be housed in ‘the high-end models of 2023,’ which could be the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. According to the report, the lens manufacturer is Lante Optics, which could potentially deliver 100 million periscope lenses to Apple. This will be the first iPhone with a periscope lens, according to the report. In the world of Android smartphones, however, it is nothing new, as many flagships include a periscope lens.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously predicted that the iPhone 15 series would include a periscope camera for improved optical zoom. The iPhone 14 will also have a 48MP primary camera capable of capturing 8K video, as well as significant camera improvements, according to Apple. The iPhone 14 Pro models, on the other hand, maybe limited to the 48MP sensor.

Separately, iPhone SE 3 leaks have surfaced, implying that the 2022 iPhone SE will be known as the iPhone SE+ 5G and will be released alongside the iPad Air. With a 5.7-inch or 6.1-inch display and the A15 Bionic processor, the iPhone SE 3 could be released in 2023 rather than 2024.
