Magnification and optics
Paired with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, the lens provides a 235 mm equivalent focal length, corresponding to 9.7× optical zoom. The stated maximum range reaches a 960 mm equivalent and 40× magnification; this is not specified as an entirely optical range.
The optical system consists of 13 elements in 3 groups. It is optimised for the iPhone’s F2.8 aperture and designed to preserve detail and clarity in telephoto images at high magnification.
Continued use of the RetroVa system
The system is designed to let you retain the other RetroVa accessories when changing smartphones. The planned upgrade path to iPhone 18 Pro Max involves replacing the phone case with a version compatible with that model.
