Is the iPhone 15 Pro really a step backwards?

**For some previous iPhone Pro versions, Apple has largely kept the cameras intact. But everything changed this year.** From iPhone 11 Pro/11 Pro Max to iPhone 14 Pro/14 Pro Max, the cameras on both versions are the same. One exception is with the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. With these two models, the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a slightly larger telephoto aperture and up to 2.5x optical zoom, while the iPhone 12 Pro can only get up to 2x optical zoom. Not a huge difference, but still a difference nonetheless. But for the most part, the cameras on the smaller and larger Pro models are the same. Therefore, it is up to users to decide to choose the Pro Max based on whether they want a bigger screen and longer battery life. People won’t get a better camera on the Pro Max model, and that’s fair to everyone. After all, not everyone wants the biggest phone. In fact, users appreciate how Apple makes the camera system on the Pro and Pro Max models the same. This way, no one is “punished” by getting a smaller camera module if they don’t like it or simply don’t want to spend too much money on a Pro Max that’s too big for them. But with all the rumors and speculation about the iPhone 15 series, it looks like Apple will once again punish those who choose the smaller iPhone 15 Pro over the iPhone 15 Pro Max. That’s quite unfortunate for those who don’t buy the iPhone 15 Pro Max because it’s simply too big. With small hands, even holding an iPhone 14 Pro for a long time feels uncomfortable, so how bad would it be if this happened to the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Hopefully Apple can figure out how to equip the iPhone 15 Pro with a periscope lens. Why should people be punished just because using a large phone is uncomfortable? Non-onene iPhone Pro users are treated like second-class citizens simply because of their phone size preferences. September is only a few months away, so we don’t have too much time to expect Apple to make changes to its liking. But anyway, more or less companies should understand what people mean. If everything remains true to the rumors, it’s a step backwards for Apple with the iPhone 15 Pro, just like it did with the iPhone 12 Pro.
