The design has been used by Samsung, Huawei, and others to make smartphone cameras that sport massive optical zooming capabilities compared to what Apple offers.<\/p>\n<p>This latest patent was filed in January of2019but finally granted and published on August 17 of this year, as noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patentlyapple.com\/patently-apple\/2021\/08\/apple-was-granted-53-patents-today-covering-an-optical-system-for-a-future-hmd-a-periscope-like-zoom-camera-for-iphone-mor.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener\"><em>Patently Apple<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Optical image stabilization combined with a lot more zoom.
