Apple is likely to unveil the iPhone 15 series this fall and the lineup is likely to enter mass production next month, according to analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong International Tech Research. In a big change, this year's iPhone Pro Max model will be different from last year's iteration and may come with a new periscope zoom lens that would be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max only. This means that the iPhone 15 Pro Max would have the best camera system among all the iPhone 15 series models, says a report by 9to5Mac. Apple has traditionally followed a trend where the Pro and Pro Max models have been spec-for-spec identical except for the screen size and battery size.
However, according to Jeff, this year would see a big change as iPhone 15 may come with a new periscope zoom lens while other models would not get it.
