iPhone 15 Pros camera may be different than the iPhone 15 Pro Max: Heres why

Last year Apple came up with the iPhone 14 and now people are awaiting the launch of the iPhone 15 series. If you’ve read our iPhone 14 review, you’ll remember how it introduced significant new changes in features, especially its camera capabilities. 

Earlier leaks revealed that iPhone 15 Pro might come with a periscope lens for optical zoom. But now it has been revealed through newer leaks that it is applicable only for iPhone 15 Pro Max model. The Max could also sport a 48MP Sony camera with a larger sensor than the previous iPhone models. 

So, this significant leak suggests that the iPhone 15 Pro might not be as professional and advanced as the iPhone 15 Pro Max model’s camera prowess. Let’s look into the features that the leaks suggest for the upcoming iPhone.

iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Max: Reported differences

All iPhones have had cameras which always were a grade above its predecessor and people go head over heels over any new iPhone’s camera quality. But Apple has never really chased big technical specs as a huge differentiator of a new device launch. This is a result of Apple choosing stable performance over innovation and hence it waits for the new technology to mature before it implements on any of its devices. 

As per rumours, that’s not how it’s going to work for iPhone 15 Pro Max. Both the Pro and Pro Max models would look majorly identical but the difference would lie in features such as the camera and RAM. 

According to recent developments, the iPhone 15 Pro model won’t have much of a difference or extra features from the standard model.

However, as mentioned already, the iPhone 15 Pro Max could feature a Sony IMX903 sensor. This could help Apple in getting better image quality as more light can enter through the large sensors and it would be particularly useful in low-light scenarios. So, if people really want an amazing upgrade with both a periscope lens and the Sony camera optics, it looks like they will have to opt for iPhone 15 Pro Max, as the iPhone 15 Pro model and the standard iPhone 15 may not have too many significant changes. 

This will be a major advancement, if that’s how Apple chooses to diversify its iPhone lineup later this year. Though, we don’t know for sure, as these are still early leaked info and a lot may change from now till September 2023 when Apple’s expected to showcase its iPhone 15 phone models.
