Come on, Apple. 13mm, 26mm, and 52mm lenses?

Have you even watched people use your phones? They always zoom in (like, 10x).

A 3x optical would have been much nicer. 4x and I would have preordered.



Optical zoom and thin form factor doesn't work together too well.


Huawei P30 Pro uses a 'periscope' style design (using a mirror to put the lens alongside the phone's back instead of back-to-front) to get 5x optical zoom, so it can be done


I was surprised by this as well - the ultrawide certainly seems more niche than a 3x or 4x for better portraits, attempts at wildlife, etc.


Actually I'm a wide angle buff myself. 13mm is a very nice addition IMHO.
