Apple's iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro launch is less than a month away and details related to the flagship models keep pouring in. Apple is yet to send out press invites for its special event but we have previously heard that the announcement could take place in the first half of September.

With just 3 weeks to go until the launch of the iPhone 15 series, the hype is building.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max, in particular, is expected to feature a brand-new periscope telephoto camera which would substantially improve its zooming capabilities and put it at par, if not way ahead, with the likes of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Not only the Pro models but the vanilla iPhone 15 variants are expected to get a similar treatment as well.
