"iPhone 15 Pro Max: A Camera Powerhouse and Buyer's Guide Comparison"
The iPhone 15 Pro Max has secured the second spot in DxOMark's mobile camera rankings, thanks to its new "Tetraprism" zoom technology. While praised for its telephoto abilities, the device fell short of surpassing the Huawei P60 Pro, which still holds the top spot. The 15 Pro Max received accolades for skin-tone accuracy, exposure, auto-focus, and video stabilization, but its zoom capabilities lacked consistency across all ranges and it struggled with unwanted artifacts and noise in low-light shots. Further testing is still underway, and it remains to be seen how the absence of the Tetraprism camera in the 2023 iPhone 15 Pro will affect its performance.
