Two more years to wait for the super zoom camera iPhone

All iPhones from Apple will have a different camera design in 2023, as well as a different lens. What can we expect from that?

Several smartphones of Apple’s competitors already have lenses that can zoom in better. Huawei’s P30 Pro already allows a 5x optical zoom. Of course, Apple cannot miss the boat and will use a ‘periscopic telephoto lens’ for their iPhones from 2023. Respected Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo makes this statement (via MacRumors) and he is often right. Earlier he said that a super zoom lens for the iPhone would come in 2022, but he will come back to that now. It now seems that the super zoom lens will be introduced on the iPhone in 2023.

iPhone super zoom camera

The current generation of iPhones have a maximum 2.5x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom. Better zoom capabilities would attract customers to Apple and improve their position against the competition. Then the company could compete with smartphones that are completely focused on the zoom functionality. The latest Samsung smartphones have a 100x zoom function. The iPhones really cannot experience this yet and are well behind.

Telephoto lens and camera module

The top models of iPhones that will be released next year will also have an improved lens. Apple is moving from five elements to a six-element lens, which will improve the camera as well as design and manufacturing benefits.

The camera module on the front of the iPhone remains a topic of discussion. According to many users, other smartphones process these more beautifully, making the module less noticeable and more absorbed in the design. Apple’s goal is to reduce the size at the front with this new camera module.

Apple analyst Kuo said earlier that he firmly believes that iPhone models will transition from notch to a hole-punch-like display by 2022. Bit copied from the Android smartphones. But it will definitely improve the front display. With the iPhone super zoom camera, this will be a welcome change.
