iPhone 17 Pro Max rumor says it'll have the 'most powerful telephoto' camera yet

The leak gives further indication the larger device will have an 8x telephoto lens

Apple is giving the iPhone 17 Pro Max the “most powerful telephoto” camera the smartphone market has ever seen, according to a new leak from Instant Digital on Weibo. The rumors suggest that Apple will add a new 48MP telephoto camera to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, equipped with physically moving focal lengths that allow you to switch between 5x and 8x without using any digital cropping. The ability to physically zoom in to 8x is another story; moving parts in smartphone cameras are always tricky and take up a lot of room, so it’s interesting to hear that Apple might’ve been able to figure it out for this year’s iPhone 17 Pro Max.
