so the iphone has been the world's most
popular camera for over 10 years but
apple about to make this a hundred times
better by introducing a brand new
periscope lens into the actual iphone
body apple have filed quite a few
paintings over the last few years for
periscope technology to be brought to
the iphone and it looks like it's
finally coming at last right now apple
is known to be one of the best in its
class for its camera technology whether
this be using the wide lens the ultra
wide lens whether doing nighttime
photography or even doing portrait modes
or even the front-facing selfie camera
and even moving on to the video
technology the camera is absolutely
superb in stabilization and also it's
fantastic with that brand new cinematic
mode and it is world leading class
technology however there is one area
where actually apple lacks in
photography and also doing videos and
that's to do with optical zoom and also
digital zoom there are a lot of
competitors out there that are doing a
far better job of this also the fact
that only the iphone pro models like
this iphone 13 pro max i'm holding here
actually has a telephoto lens built into
it and to be honest it's not the best in
the world all right let me reword that
i'm not saying it's not the worst in the
world it does an okay job just look at
some digital photos you can see here
this iphone 13 pro max can go up to a 15
times digital zoom and it's quite
impressive you can make out the pictures
quite well but then also at the same
time you do actually have that telephoto
lens the optical zoom and this only goes
up to three times zoom on the iphone 13
pro max and you do get some good results
here but only up to three times zoom but
the thing is there are other phones out
there like the samsung galaxy s20 all
the way to the samsung galaxy s22 ultra
like the one i'm holding here will
actually offer you a ten times optical
zoom and also the ability to go all the
way up to 100 times digital zoom with
combination with that optical kind of
lens that you've got in here with that
ten time zoom some good sort of trickery
going on now i will say this that the
hundred times zoom has got better all
the way from the galaxy s20 all the way
to the s22 but it's not the best in the
world but one area though where zoom is
really amazing is on around about 30
times zoom again the combination of the
optical zen and also the digital sort of
zooming capability you can see here this
picture at 30 times zoom is really
really quite clear to be honest and it's
really really good and i would actually
pass this as a good photo to use but
it's not just samsung who are making
great optical zoom you've got the likes
of the google pixel yes this only has a
four times zoom capability with its
optical lens but it also has this hybrid
kind of zoom capability up to 20 times
and again you can see here it looks
really really good even at 20 times zoom
it's far better than what apple offer
with their zoom capability on the iphone
13 pro and also the 13 pro max like i
said before apple are pioneers in being
absolutely the best in general camera
pictures and to be honest it's very hard
for the likes to say samsung and say
sony or even say the google pixel to
actually even catch up but one thing
they do really lack in it's got to be
the kind of zoom capability this phone
here for example easily beats the iphone
13 pro max if you want to get a photo
taken at say 15 to say 100 times zoom
it's definitely going to beat it out
there so a question to ask if samsung
have had the capability of introducing
say a hundred times zoom for the last
sort of three years why haven't apple
introduced sort of a periscope sort of
zoom capability on their iphones over
the last few years well it goes down to
apple being perfectionist and what i
mean by this is if we take wireless
charging for example so wireless
charging on the likes of samsung came
out in 2014
it came available with the galaxy s5 and
with that you had to actually stick it
kind of like into sort of like a bay or
some sort of a unit to do wireless
charging it had the capability for that
but it wasn't until the galaxy s6
actually had wireless charging built
right into this it wasn't all the way
until
2017 so this was about two three years
later after samsung had done this that
apple introduced wireless charging and
the main reason they did this is they
wanted to get the technology right
before introducing into the lights of
their handsets and as we all know with
the likes of the iphone 12 this
technology got perfected even more we've
got magsafe capability and the likes of
say samsung don't have any kind of mag
save capability at all apple have
actually pushed the bar further with
magsafe sort of technology and wireless
charging technology in that respect and
to be honest this is probably going to
be the same of why they haven't
introduced a periscope lens into the
likes of say the iphone 13 or even say
the iphone 12 as those were probably the
first sort of photos you could say it
could have come into they're waiting to
make it absolutely perfect and when it
is perfect they're going to be
introducing it into their iphone so the
big question is will the likes of say
the iphone 14 pro models have this
optical zoom there's periscope
technology and also a better digital
zoom technology built into it the short
answer is no it doesn't look like it is
coming this year for the iphone 14
however don't turn off this video right
at this stage because i do have some
really good news still about the iphone
14. with the iphone 14 we've heard lots
of leaks and rumors out there that
basically the iphone 14 is going to be
getting a 48 megapixel camera sensor put
inside it this is a massive jump because
since the iphone 6s and that was i don't
know 2015 or 2016 something around about
then it only had a 12 megapixel camera
sensor in all the iphones yes the
technology has changed with that 12
megapixel sensor over the years but
we've never ever had an increase with
this and apple would look into using
sort of a bidding sort of technology
similar to the likes of what samsung
would do right now with their camera
technology to make the pictures even
more crisper and especially if you take
a shot then try zooming in the picture
will look still really really good when
it's all zoomed in on top of this as
well is likely going to be getting a 3.5
sort of optical lens put inside the
iphone 14 pro models or even a four
times optical sort of lens inside and
that's going to be really really amazing
and there's a possibility that zoom
capability could go somewhere between 17
to 20 times zoom using the digital sort
of zoom capability as well so it's
really exciting still that apple can be
pushing the bar a little bit further
with the iphone 14 pro models but the
best news to take away is the next
iphone is probably going to have the
periscope technology inside it just look
at some articles that we have here look
at this one from jeff pew and as you can
see here he is saying that the periscope
technology is basically ready and it's
going to be introduced to an iphone very
soon minchi quo has basically said the
same thing has said a few articles over
the last years and basically saying the
same thing it's coming along it's going
to be coming so our bets are that it's
probably going to be coming in the
iphone 15. especially the apple at this
stage like to keep the same sort of
design iphone for about three years and
then introduce a new design so for
example with the likes of say the iphone
6 to the iphone 7 we had that same
design all for those three years yes the
iphone 8 did have the same design again
and say just the se and everything like
that but the same year when the iphone 8
came out we got that brand new design
again of the iphone x or the iphone 10
and that was used for the 10s and then
that was also used for the likes of the
iphone 11 and then we've got the same
right now we had a brand new design with
the iphone 12 all the way up now to the
iphone 14. so it's unlikely we're going
to be able to fit periscope technology
into this kind of design we have right
here so with the iphone 15 which could
be a brand new design altogether it's
most likely that apple found a way to
put periscope technology into that brand
new design so it's really exciting that
this is coming very very soon
do you know something else that's really
exciting well that's the giveaway we're
doing on this channel right now and it's
for this it is for a macbook air and
this one here is the 512 gigabyte option
that we have and this also has the eight
core gpu inside air and i'm going to be
giving away this macbook air to one
lucky subscriber when we get over 400
000 subscribers and we're not that far
away to be honest and all you have to do
is enter into this international
giveaway is let me know in the comments
below of what apple gear you're planning
to buy what technology gear you're
planning to buy in
2022 put it down in the comments below
and like i said when we get over 400 000
subscribers i'll be announcing who the
winner is via a video so make sure that
if you are new here that you subscribe
to this channel and also hit that
notification bell because you want to
get that notification for that video now
on that note as well i just quickly want
to mention there are lots of scammers
there are lots of spammers out there a
lot of them even impersonating me
telling you you've won a prize this is
not me at all so if you can please do
report these scammers because it wrecks
the community here and you i'm afraid
you're not going to win a prize via them
they're probably going to take some of
your money away and that's not a nice
thing at all so please do report them to
youtube but like i did say when we get
over 400 000 subscribers i'll be making
a video on this channel announcing who
the winner is right then with that out
of the way let's talk more about this
periscope lens for the iphone
so the next question is when apple
introduced the periscope lens into the
iphone will we get a 100 times zoom
capability straight away well to be
deadly honest i don't think we will with
the likes of say the galaxy s22 that we
have here well when the galaxy s20 first
came out and it gave us that hundred
times zoom capability it was very very
hard to use you basically had to use a
tripod or basically had sort of balance
your phone onto some sort of mount or
wall to take a picture a hundred times
zoom and have very very steady hands
it's very difficult to take a picture on
this phone with that however as
technology has evolved over the last
couple of years a hundred times zoom is
quite easy now to use on the likes i say
the galaxy s22 ultra that we have right
here it's nowhere near perfect and to be
deadly on this the pictures that you
take at 100 times zoom are still not the
best in the world when you take a shot
it looks like you took the photo say on
a galaxy s4 for example 100 times zoom
you're not gonna get the same sort of
quality as you get with say the galaxy
s22 if you just took it at say one or
two times zoom you're not going to get
that so with that in mind though the
galaxy s22 ultra if you did take a photo
say 30 times zoom the pictures are
absolutely perfect look at this here as
you can see as an example they're really
really good now with this in mind i
would also say most likely apple will
probably be taking a very similar
approach here most likely i would say
personally that the first kind of phone
they introduce might not go up to 100
times zoom straight away you'll get to
say the 10 times optical zoom but you
might be limited up to say 50 times zoom
or even 30 times zoom capability because
like i did say earlier in this video
apple are perfectionists and they want
to get their technology right and photos
to look perfect also at the same time as
well we'll have the brand new a chipset
by then we'll probably be on the a17 and
apple will be working on some bits and
pieces behind the scenes to make sort of
a 30 times or 50 times zoom capability
look really really good it's most likely
though that the next iphone after this
so say the iphone 16 for example will
probably still have that 10 times sort
of optical zoom but might have the
capability of going all the way up to a
hundred times zoom because they would
have worked on what they had with the
iphone 15 and also at the same time as
well that brand new a18 chipset had to
remember which one it would be by that
point will probably be even better with
working out how good to make photos at
100 times zoom that technology will
probably improve and prove improve with
machine learning so all we can say is
it's looking really really good for
apple in the future but one thing i
would also still say if you still plan
to get yourself an iphone 14 this year
go ahead and still get one it's still
going to be a great iphone and
especially if you're going to be a
person who doesn't really take really
really long zooms away if you take up to
say three times zoom it's still going to
be a perfect iphone for you and to be
honest quite a lot of situations out
there i can't think of many times when i
need to use zoom more than three times
for i'd say nine out of ten times of
when i need to use the zoom capability
it's only those odd occasions when i
need to go actually further with zoom
and for most of you people out there
you'll be sitting in that same situation
so i wouldn't worry too much with that
but if zoom is a big thing that you
definitely need i would say probably
wait another year for the iphone 15
where we get a brand new design iphone
and we will also get that periscope
technology so there we have it guys the
periscope technology is coming and if
you are a person who likes to zoom zoom
zoom then yeah wait out for the iphone
15 but those are my own thoughts what
are your thoughts are you looking
forward to this periscope technology or
will you still be getting your hands on
a brand new iphone 14 later on this year
