CTOnews.com, September 21 (Xinhua) in an interview with French media Numerama's Nicolas Lellouche, Jon McCormack, vice president of software engineering for Apple camera, explained why the four-prism lens module on the iPhone 15 Pro Max is limited to 5x optical zoom.

CTOnews.com Note: the four-prism lens is exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, increasing the optical zoom of the telephoto camera from 3x to 5x, while also increasing the maximum zoom to 25x.

The telephoto lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max combines optical image stabilization and autofocus 3D sensor shift modules and is the company's most advanced camera stabilization system to date, McCormack said in an interview.

McCormack believes that Apple pays more attention to shooting stability than pursuing a 10x telephoto lens. "We think the current stage of 5x zoom is the optimal solution to ensure photo stability. You can observe 10x zoom, which is really difficult to use unless you have the most stable hand or tripod in the world," he said. "

Maxime Veron, senior director of product marketing for Apple's iPhone, also said in an interview that the 5x telephoto lens used in the iPhone 15 Pro Max is f / 2.8. in contrast to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the 10x telephoto lens is f / 4.9aperture.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max uses a larger aperture to allow the camera sensor to capture more light, which is particularly useful for shooting night scenes.
