iPhone 15 Pro Max may become Apple’s ‘best-selling smartphone’

iPhone 15 Pro Max

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to become Apple’s best-selling smartphone, with a groundbreaking periscope lens rumored to offer impressive optical zoom, potentially 5X-10X, predicted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

iPhone 15 series to be launched on September 12 at Apple’s September 12 event.

To recall, the standard iPhone 15 models are anticipated to receive upgrades like a USB Type-C port and Dynamic Island. In contrast, the iPhone 15 Pro Max (or iPhone 15 Ultra) may feature a game-changing addition that could position it as Apple’s top-selling model.

In a post by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo on Medium (via 9to5Mac), it is suggested that the device could make up 35-40 per cent of Apple’s shipments upon launch, potentially becoming their top-selling model. The report also notes a 10 per cent increase in estimated shipments for the iPhone 15 Pro compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max, largely attributed to the anticipated inclusion of a periscope lens, exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The upcoming periscope lens, integrated into the telephoto lens of the device, could potentially provide optical zoom ranging from 5X to 6X. Notably, Apple Insider’s Andrew O’Hara suggests it might even push the boundaries to 10X, aligning with the acclaimed zoom capabilities of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. This underscores Apple’s confidence in the periscope’s appeal, exclusively offered in the device, as highlighted in Kuo’s report.

Should this report prove accurate, it implies that consumers are prepared to invest more significantly for premium iPhone features.

Although unconfirmed, there are indications of a potential $200 price increase for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, marking the first such increase since the iPhone 11 series.

SEOUL: South Korea and Britain kick off a major international summit on artificial intelligence in Seoul this week, where governments plan to press tech firms on AI safety. The meeting is a follow-up to the inaugural global AI safety summit at Bletchley Park in Britain last year, where dozens of countries voiced their fears to leading AI firms about the risks posed by their tech. Safety is again on the agenda at the AI Seoul Summit starting Tuesday and representatives are expected from leading AI firms, including ChatGPT maker OpenAI, Google DeepMind, French AI firm Mistral, Microsoft and Anthropic. “As with any new technology, AI brings new risks, including deliberate misuse from those who mean to do us harm,” South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Monday in a joint article. “However, with new models being released almost every week, we are still learning where these risks may emerge,” they said in the piece, published by the South Korean dail

Samsung wants to turn your iPhone into a foldable phone

The South Korean tech giant Samsung is targeting Apple users with a unique update to its Try Galaxy app, enabling iPhone users to simulate the experience of using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold by placing two iPhones side by side. The feature is available on Android phones too, but Samsung just expanded the Try Galaxy app to work on iPhones. The update comes after Samsung launched its latest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5, at a high-profile event in Seoul last month. Using the app on your iPhone involves scanning a QR code from Samsung, which is available in the company’s press release. Doing so will allow you to add a shortcut to Samsung’s Try Galaxy app to an iPhone’s home screen. Launching the shortcut pulls up a simulation of Samsung’s One UI Android software.

There are a couple of short demos available to try in this mode, such as a
