iPhone 15 Pro Max 5X Optical Zoom Only on the iPhone 15 Pro Max

Thought this would be a good discussion before the tear downs were completed. Even though Apple is starting with 256GB on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it looks like a $100 premium has been added to the cost.

I feel it really is a space constraint. Apple kind of screwed themselves with MagSafe being so big. You can only make the camera modules so big without intruding on space needed for MagSafe accessories.

I do hope 3x comes back in the future.

Not really, iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB was the same price, they just had a 128GB model last year on the Pro Max that they don't offer this year.

Sounds like you voted for the larger real estate needed with the hardware. Thank you.

I assume it's because of the size needed to make it happen, but it is disappointing. Money aside, I would like the 5x optical zoom but I don't think I would like the bigger phone. I'd almost rather pay the extra money for the best available camera package but keep the regular Pro size.

You get 5x but you lose 3x.
