I'm talking about optical zoom. I don't care about how much they can crop in on a 48mp images. That's not true zoom and you're losing resolution doing it.

All the rumors are saying only the Pro Max is getting 6x optical zoom and that's what I'm concerned with here.

But thats the brillance of binned 12mp lenses, you dont loose any resolution and it functions the same as an optical zoom. it works fantastic for the 2x option of hte 14 pro

You keep kinda repeating yourself here. I used to work doing photo and video, I understand what you’re trying to explain.

I’d rather have 6x true optical zoom on a 48mp image, not binned 12 mp images.

If you don’t care that’s fine, buy the phone or whatever. I’m not trying to talk you or anybody out of it. I’ll pass if they’re restricting the feature from the non max size this time. That’s all.
