"Teleconverters are all the rage these days in China, with both Oppo and vivo offering them for their high-end imaging flagships. But what about Apple? Well, according to a new rumor from Weibo, the Cupertino company is now evaluating whether or not it should create such an accessory for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, due for release later this year."
"Of course, this means no decision has been made yet, but even the fact that Apple is thinking about this is notable. The company isn't usually very fast to jump on trends like this, famously waiting many years until it adopts technologies pioneered by its competitors. Then the media spin is that Apple wanted the tech to be mature enough, and Apple itself will act as if it invented everything."
A rumor from Weibo says Apple is evaluating a teleconverter accessory for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, potentially launching later this year. Oppo and vivo already offer teleconverters on high-end models in China, driving interest. No final decision has been made, and Apple historically adopts competitor technologies after they mature. A variable-aperture main camera is reportedly in development for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, illustrating the pattern of later adoption. The new models are expected to resemble their predecessors, possibly adding a transparent back twist similar to earlier designs from Xiaomi and others.
