Apple released the new iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in mid-September this year. The new models use the same powerful chips, but are different from the standard models to maintain the performance gap. However, only the iPhone 15 Pro Max is equipped with a 5x quad prism lens, while the standard model is equipped with last year's optical zoom lens with only 3x zoom capability. A well-known industry analyst said that Apple hopes to provide new four-prism lenses on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max has the best camera of any iPhone, and the new 5x zoom feature makes it a worthy upgrade. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that despite the smaller size and appearance of the iPhone 16 Pro, Apple still plans to introduce four-prism camera technology into the iPhone 16 Pro model. This isn't the first time we've heard that next year's smaller "Pro" will feature quad prisms. Kuo is simply sticking to his statement, which he said a few months ago that the two "Pro" models will have unity in terms of camera hardware.
The new camera lenses will allow users to make better decisions based on the iPhone's size, since both are "Pro" models and should have the same features. In addition to the iPhone 16 Pro's upgraded camera, battery capacity is another reason why users insist on using the larger "ProMax" version instead of the "Pro".
Although Apple has set some differences for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the two models also have many similarities. For example, both models will feature the A17Pro chip for enhanced computing and graphics performance. As soon as the iPhone 15 Pro models were launched, we heard a lot of reports complaining about overheating problems. While some users are blaming the A17 Pro chip, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the titanium finish could be to blame for the entire situation (a claim denied by Apple).
Apple is aware of the issue and says it is part of a bug in iOS 17 and will be fixed in the next iOS 17 update. The company made good on its promise and released iOS 17.0.3 to resolve the issue. However, the analyst did not further share his thoughts on the situation.
