i was on the apple website using the compare iphone models option and I came up to where it mentions optical zoom options. I might got the wrong idea of what it is but I have an iPhone 13 and i was comparing it to the new iPhone 15 it says optical zoom for the 13 is .5 and .1. But when i go on my camera I’m able to zoom in up to 5x on photo and 3x camera.

Hi gtg1921,
welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!
Wondering if this Apple support article may be helpful: iPhone camera basics - Apple Support
Eg: says:
Zoom in or out
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
To zoom in or out (eg: when editing) on a Photo is different, as you can zoom right in to see pixels in some apps.
Also: Accessibility settings can allow for zoom in and out on many other things while viewed on the iPhone screen.

We don't seem to have a lot of precise info. about the workings of features of the new iPhone 15's camera yet.
Shopping help would likely know the most at this stage.
All the. best :-)
an someone thoroughly explain what the optical zoom function is on iPhone in the Camera app?
