Apples iPhone 15 Pro could launch with a 5x periscope camera

iPhone 15 rumours and leaks have already started surfacing. Apple has been testing prototypes and component samples of 5X telephoto lenses for the iPhone 15 Pro. A final decision will be on the manufacturer, which is expected in May 2022.

According to 9to5Mac reports, analyst Jeff Pu claims the iPhone 15 Pro versions will include a periscope lens with 5X optical magnification. Apple is in talks with Lane Optics, which is likely to be the primary provider of periscope lenses for the iPhones that will be released in 2023.

Also, the reports say the Cupertino-based corporation has already received component samples, and a final decision is expected by May of this year. If the components are authorised, Apple will add the periscope lens to the high-end variants of the 2023 iPhone range, which we expect to be dubbed the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. If the firms reach an agreement, Lane Optics will most likely provide Apple with more than 100 million components. It will have a significant influence on the company's revenue. It's not the first time Apple's iPhone has been rumoured to contain a periscope lens.

Periscope lens for 2023 iPhone 15 Pro edition

In an earlier report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple was working on including a periscope lens in the "2H23 iPhone" for improved optical zoom.

Periscope lenses rely on a prism that reflects light to numerous internal lenses at 90 degrees to the camera sensor for those who are new to the technique. It permits the lens to be much longer than a telephoto lens, resulting in much improved optical zoom. Samsung and Huawei already have similar technology in their smartphones, allowing for up to 100x optical magnification.

Though the iPhone 15 Pro has yet to be announced, rumours say that the iPhone 14 will include an updated camera with a 48-megapixel wide lens capable of capturing 8K video this year. The next-generation iPhone is expected to be unveiled in the fall.

WhatApp is working on a feature that will allow users to transfer voice chat histories from Android to iOS

So, you’ve just switched from an Android phone over to an iPhone, but are stumped as to how you can transfer your WhatsApp chat history over? Well, it looks like WhatsApp could be developing a feature that allows users to do just that. First reported by WaBetaInfo, it was first spotted on the WhatsApp 22.2.74 beta version for iOS but has not been officially announced as yet. It also looks like the feature is still in its early stages as even beta testers do not have access to it. As of right now, users can move their chat history over from iOS to Samsung Devices. 

The new update looks like it’s going to allow users to migrate their chat histories from Android. In the WaBetaInfo image above, you can see that the feature will ask you for permission before starting. And, that’s about the only real concrete info we have on the feature. There has been no official announcement as of now but we could see more about it in the near future as it does have the capability to be a useful tool. 

WhatsApp chat history migration from iOS to Android

In fact, we earlier reported that WhatsApp released a feature that allowed users to preview a voice message. While the new WhatsApp preview feature lets you preview your voice recording, it doesn’t mean you can pause a recording in between to resume it later. That said, a beta version of WhatsApp was spotted with an option to pause an audio recording in progress so it's likely this feature is being worked on. The preview feature only enables you to listen to the clip so that users can check what they are about to send to their contact and if it is not appropriate or like they originally intended, they can discard it and record a new voice clip.

Everyone is building AR headsets and Google doesnt plan on being left behind

In the past, we’ve talked about AR/VR headsets from Apple, Microsoft and Meta. Google was the one major player missing from that conversation but that’s about to change. After months of sitting on the bench, Google is apparently ready to throw its hat in the Virtual Reality race. 

According to a recent report, Google has established a brand new lab for the development of its upcoming AR/VR headset called Project Iris. The report also suggests that the first prototype AR/VR glasses are almost ready. 

Google AR/VR Headset Details Revealed

The upcoming AR/VR headset leaked details reveal that it will probably be a wireless unit. Meaning the user won’t have to deal with pesky wires while wearing the upcoming Google VR headset. In terms of look at the design, the Google AR/VR headset will look similar to a pair of Ski-Goggles. 

Google is also developing a custom OS based on Android to use on its AR headset. The tech giant is also working on a custom chip, similar to the tensor chip found in the latest Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, to power its upcoming AR headset. None of us will get to see the finished product until 2024. The report also seemingly confirms this aspect as the Pixel team is suggested to be working on Project Iris. 

However, it is hard to get excited for any brand new Google IP. We already know the status of Stadia and hearing about a Google AR/VR headset and not immediately turning skeptical thinking about a poorly supported product lifecycle with inconsistent updates and support is kind of difficult for me.
