- Tetra prisms use a special prism shaped like a folded wave instead of a long row of lenses.
- Light enters the lens and reflects off the prism multiple times (four times, so it's called a tetraprism), effectively bending the optical path and increasing the focal length.
- This allows for significant zoom (5x). iPhone 15 Pro Max) without the need for bulky lens assemblies.

of iPhoneSE4 If all the leaks prove accurate, it would be quite an upgrade from the previous generation. In addition to the improved camera, from the previous model's modest 12MP rear camera to his impressive 48MP rear camera, the display is also expected to be significantly enhanced.
Furthermore, rumors suggest a battery enhancement, which could see the capacity increase dramatically from 2018mAh. iPhoneSE3 In the future it will be 3279mAh iPhoneSE4. That means it may be using the same battery as the iPhone 14.
The roadmap also suggests that the iPhone 17 Pro series will come with triple 48MP rear cameras. But that's not all. The iPhone 17 Pro model's FaceTime camera also boasts 48MP, and it has also been suggested that it will be equipped with optical image stabilization.
These claims are also backed up by an earlier leak from renowned analyst Jeff Pugh, suggesting that the iPhone 17 Pro Max could be the first iPhone to feature an entire rear camera corps of 48-megapixel shooters. It suggests something. The front selfie camera upgrade is supported by a previous report by TF International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, and is likely to happen.

The 2026 roadmap heralds the arrival of the first-ever foldable iPhone. However, tipster Levegnas, who shared this very roadmap, later revealed that the release of the foldable iPhone has reportedly been pushed back to 2027.
According to the roadmap, the device will feature a 6-inch cover display and an 8-inch internal screen, suggesting a book-style foldable design. There are no other leaks to support this claim, but at least the recommended display size is in line with similar foldable devices on the market.
For example, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 has a 7.6-inch inner folding display and a 6.2-inch cover display. If the leak is true, it could mean the foldable iPhone's internal display could be slightly larger than the latest Galaxy Z Fold.
But until Apple launches its first-ever foldable iPhone, we'll probably see at least two more generations of Samsung's book smartphones. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the foldable iPhone will actually be large. Who knows what the Galaxy Z Fold 9 will look like?
Rumors about a foldable iPhone are contradictory. But with so much going on, it's at least reasonable to think it's in the works. But don't get ahead of yourself. Predicting release dates is like trying to catch a greased pig. So this roadmap may not be accurate, and we may still be a long way from getting a foldable iPhone.
Move on. The roadmap shows that the OLED iPad Air line, featuring 8.4-inch and 10.9-inch models, is scheduled to debut in 2026. Although this information is promising, it is wise to approach it with a bit of skepticism.

Adding fuel to the fire, a patent application filed late last year further cements their potential arrival. Therefore, the roadmap proposal looks very promising.
Additionally, another product planned for 2027 is a foldable iPad with a 20-inch display. Previous rumors have speculated that the first ever foldable Apple device will be a foldable iPad Mini to celebrate his 20th anniversary of the iPhone, which means his year 2027.
It makes sense for Apple to consider the idea of a foldable iPad Mini. That could be a way for the company to revive sales of its iPad mini form factor and draw attention to the category.
So is Apple's future as bright as rumors suggest?

With so many leaks, rumors, and claims swirling around, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. After all, we can only be sure of something until it's officially released or confirmed by the company itself. But if this roadmap proves accurate, it paints a promising picture for Apple's future products, with the company likely to enter the foldable smartphone market sooner rather than later, as well as expand into the world of AR/VR. seems ready to move forward. And let's not forget the company's iconic product, the iPhone. This will definitely continue to improve.
It's not easy to predict what the future will hold, but staying up to date with all the latest news is the key to predicting which direction things will go. According to the information currently available: iPhoneSE4 Its arrival is just around the corner, along with the OLED iPad Pro and the next generation iPhone.
