A well-known Apple tipster / analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, revealed some additional information about Apple’s upcoming iPhones. He previously mentioned that Apple plans to use a periscope camera on the iPhone 15 Ultra aka Pro Max, but not he added some more info to the table.
Only one iPhone 15 & iPhone 16 model will include a periscope camera
He claims that only one iPhone 15 and 16 model will include a periscope camera. Needless to say, it’s the highest-end model, the iPhone 15 Ultra and iPhone 16 Ultra. Do note that these could also be called “Pro Max” instead of “Ultra”, we’re still not sure.
This further proves that Apple will differentiate between its top models moving forward. Thus far, the two “Pro” models were basically identical, save for the size, and thus battery capacity and display size.
Moving forward, that will change. The periscope camera will be a differentiating factor, and it may not be the only one, judging by the rumors. Ming-Chi Kuo is usually spot on, so chances are this is true.
This will be Apple’s first foray into the periscope camera territory
This will be Apple’s first foray into the periscope camera territory. A number of companies dabbled in the technology thus far, but not Apple. Samsung, Huawei, and Vivo are probably the best examples of companies which utilize that tech.
As a reminder, all iPhone 15 models will feature a Type-C USB port. On top of that, it is also claimed that the ‘Pro’ and ‘Ultra’ models will include solid-state buttons, instead of physical ones.
The entire iPhone 15 series may also ditch the design with flat sides, Apple may decide to go a different route. You can also expect all iPhone 15 models to include a Dynamic Island, while Apple is trying to figure out how to place its face scanning tech under the display in future models.
The iPhone 15 series will most likely launch in September.
