FAQs - Telephoto Lens

The short answer is: better optics and further zoom. The long answer? The iPhone's wide camera is superior to the iPhone's Telephoto camera, in terms of picture quality - especially for subjects more than 8 feet away. The sensor is slightly larger (1/3" vs. 1/3.4"), and the pixel size is larger (1.22µm vs. 1.0µm).
