The new iPhone 15 Pro Max has turned some heads with its various camera upgrades. One new addition is the 5X zoom lens, but while that functionality is nice to have, is it actually usable? The zoom function on phone cameras has always been largely pointless to me. Digital zoom has traditionally yielded such dreadful results that I have avoided it at all costs; I'd rather not bother with the shot than use the longest zoom on a phone. However, technology is making strides as always and Apple is often at the forefront of that when it comes to mobile phones.
