Apple's forthcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max is anticipated to carry a higher price tag compared to its predecessor, according to Apple analyst Jeff Pu. As per a report from MacRumors, Pu stated that both of Apple's upcoming Pro models will experience a price hike beyond the current starting price of $1,099 for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This marks the first time Pu has explicitly mentioned the Pro Max variant being pricier than other iPhone 15 Pro models.
According to IANS, the report further highlights a significant difference between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, in addition to a larger battery and display. The notable contrast lies in the inclusion of a periscope lens exclusively in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
While both Pro models will feature telephoto lenses as part of their three-camera array, the Pro Max variant is expected to sport a periscope lens capable of offering a 5x to 6x optical zoom, thereby surpassing the 3x zoom capability of the iPhone 14 Pro models.
