Whether iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max: Each of the new iPhones clearly takes better pictures than its predecessors. The surprising thing: Even the basic models sometimes overtake last year’s iPhone 14 Pro. In the photo comparison you can see where the new devices score particularly well.
The most important innovation in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus is certainly the new 48 megapixel sensor. This not only enables significantly more detailed images. Using a trick, it even allows optical zoom for the first time – without a lens. To do this, Apple calculates a 24 MP image from a larger image.
The new portrait mode, which allows you to subsequently shift the background depth, is also strong.
iPhone 15 Pro Max: Impressive zoom
When it comes to the Pro models, the iPhone 15 Pro Max stands out. It is the only iPhone to have a 5x zoom. To do this, the camera directs the light from the lens into a prism, where it reflects four times before it hits the sensor. With a special stabilizer, even the smallest tremors in the hand are compensated for.
