According to reports, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be equipped with a rear 48-megapixel main camera, 12-megapixel ultra wide-angle and 12-megapixel periscopic telephoto triple camera, coupled with the A17 chip for computational processing, which will be the best phone in Apple's image history.

The main camera 48 megapixels remains the same as the previous generation, the sensor size is 1/1.3 inches, the periscopic telephoto is 12 megapixels, support 6x optical zoom, compared to the previous generation has a leap upgrade.

Authoritative optical imaging expert Chen Chao said, "Almost all brand-name cell phone manufacturers have used periscope lens, but at present, from the point of view of imaging quality and image quality, periscope is not the best, the user experience is extremely poor. "

Chen Chao also said that the purpose of the periscope is to try to take photos farther. In the mainstream appearance towards the trend of thin and light, cell phone manufacturers do not want the product bulge, in order to save the thickness of space and the use of folding structure, which means that the CMOS size becomes smaller, the fraction ratio will not be too high. And telephoto photography will shake a lot, the OIS anti-shake technology requires more.

Perhaps with the ProMotion display, equipped with Apple's A17 bionic chip, pre-installed iOS 17 operating system iPhone 15 Pro Max, the image effect will be further upgraded compared to the previous generation, and can solve this pain point.

It is worth noting that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is also equipped with LiDAR system. LiDAR is Light Identification Detection And Ranging, which uses light to detect and judge distance.

Simply put, LiDAR determines the location and shape of an object by emitting a laser beam and measuring its return time. This technology has been used in a wide range of applications such as autonomous driving, topographic surveying, building surveying and environmental monitoring.

Users can also use a real-time modeling app on their iPhones to take photos of home spaces and then digitize them directly, adding items such as furniture to the existing environment for viewing.

In addition, the new sensor can help improve the accuracy of features such as face recognition, virtual beauty and keying, making these features look more natural.

The LiDAR scanner, introduced on the iPhone 12 Pro model in 2020, measures light distance and captures depth information, and the hardware is expected to remain exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro model. An improved LiDAR scanner could benefit augmented reality apps, night mode photos and camera autofocus.

Equipped with a LiDAR sensor, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be able to capture more accurate depth information to generate more accurate 3D models, a technology that will bring a more realistic and immersive AR experience to users.

In addition, the iPhone 15 Pro Max camera also performs very well in low-light conditions. Thanks to its sensors with larger apertures and locking shutter features like Night Mode, they can capture more light, resulting in more detail in low-light conditions.

This is very important for those who like to take photos at night or in indoor environments.

Editor's comment:

The iPhone 15 series is getting more and more detailed, and the changes in imaging seem to be huge so far, with a larger main camera sensor bottom, a periscopic telephoto and support for up to 6x optical zoom, and it's up to Apple to get the thickness of the phone and the lens protrusion under control.

However, in addition to image enhancements, it is expected that the iPhone 15 series models will also use a titanium body, equipped with Type-C ports, A17 bionic chip, increased 8GB memory, etc., so the iPhone 15 series you will buy?
