Although the iPhone 15 series won't be available until next year, internet leaks regarding the next iPhones have already begun to circulate. The iPhone 15 Pro models, according to analyst Ming Chi Kuo's tweets, won't include a new 8P or eight-element lens, which essentially implies the new ones will still have the seven-element lens seen on the iPhone 14 Pro variations. The addition of one more element lens would have helped offer better wide-angle shots because of reduced distortion.

Although the new model won't have this camera improvement, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is said to include a Periscope zoom lens, marking a first for iPhones. According to reports, the standard Pro model won't have access to this. However, a periscope lens would allow users to take better photos with blurred backgrounds and crisper foregrounds. As periscope zoom cameras serve to close the gap between a photographer and their subject, people will also be able to take candid pictures from a distance.

The first smartphone with a periscope lens won't be this one. To show the world that smartphones may have a periscope lens while still having a balanced thickness and weight, Oppo was the first firm to demonstrate a prototype device with this camera module. In order to allow light to enter straight from the periscope lens, reflect 90 degrees, and then land on the sensor, the business integrated a horizontally positioned periscope lens with a prism into the smartphone's chassis. This increases magnification by five times (or more) when compared to the main camera.
