While we are hearing a lot of leaks and rumors related to the iPhone 14 models, it is never too early to begin speculating what next year's iPhone will have in store for us. We are now hearing that the iPhone 15 Pro models will gain a periscope lens to allow up to 5x zoom. Apple is current;y negotiating with Late Optics which will act as the main supplier of the periscope lens on the iPhone 15 Pro. Scroll down to read more details on the subject.

According to the analyst Jeff Pu, the iPhone 15 Pro models will feature a periscope lens for enhanced 5x zooming capabilities (via 9to6mac). The report claims that Apple has already received component samples for the new addition and Apple will make a final decision in May of this year. If Apple goes ahead with the components, we might end up seeing a periscope lens in 2023 iPhones. Take note that only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models will feature the new lens.
