what is telephoto lens iphone

A telephoto lens for an iPhone is a lens that allows you to zoom in on your subject without physically moving closer to it. The telephoto lens has a higher zoom and can take close-up photos of your subject, making it useful for portrait mode photos. The telephoto lens is available on the iPhone 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max. The telephoto lens doubles the optical zoom of your iPhone’s lens without degrading the image quality as digital zoom can. The telephoto lens is perfect for situations where you can’t physically get closer to your subject, such as when you want to capture some interesting detail high up on a tree or building, or when there’s a fence or hedge preventing you from getting closer.
