The iPhone will get a periscope lens for its telephoto camera, a new report says, but don’t expect it before 2023.
This is according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via MacRumors), who previously said the iPhone might get such a camera as early as 2022, but has now pushed his prediction into 2023.
Smartphones with periscope lens cameras have been around for a few years. China’s Oppo was the first company to show a working prototype phone with such a camera, giving it 5x lossless zoom. The phone’s periscope lens consisted of two lenses, one of which was positioned vertically, and the other horizontally, similar to the way a submarine periscope works.
