On Wednesday, ExoLens, which partners with Zeiss on phone accessory lenses, announced two new lines for the iPhone 7, which it hopes to bring its high-quality system to users ranging from professional to consumer.

Pro and Prime, which ExoLens is calling the two distinct lens accessory lines, will be aimed at different markets, with — you guessed it — the Pro line geared toward more professional users and the prime line aimed at more average phone users. “We are very excited to launch the high-performance ranges of Pro and Prime iPhone lenses,” said John Fellowes, Chief Executive Officer of Fellowes Brands, which acquired ExoLens in 2014. “The new product lines signify an expanded brand strategy for ExoLens, which will now reach mobile photographers of all levels.”

ExoLens said the first of its lenses to hit the market will be the Pro Wide-Angle and Telephoto kits for iPhone 7, both of which feature aspherical lens technology that you normally only see used in lenses developed for use on DSLR cameras. The Pro kits will also come with the ExoLens Edge Mount, made out of machined aluminum, for mounting the lenses to your iPhone 7.

The wide-angle Pro kit will be the first to market and will retail for around $199, followed by the Telephoto kit which will retail for around $249. For now, ExoLens has not said what the Prime lens line will look like, but the company is slated for a first-quarter 2017 launch.

There’s a big problem with the iPhone’s Photos app
The Apple iPhone 15 Plus's gallery app.

While my primary device these days continues to be my iPhone 15 Pro, I’ve dabbled with plenty of Android phones since I’ve been here at Digital Trends. One of my favorite brands of phone has been the Google Pixel because of its strong suite of photo-editing tools and good camera hardware.

Google first added the Magic Eraser capability with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which is a tool I love using. Then, with the Pixel 8 series, Google added the Magic Editor, which uses generative AI to make edits that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. There are also tools like Photo Unblur, which is great for old photographs and enhancing images that were captured with low-quality sensors.

Why you should buy the iPhone 15 Pro Max instead of the iPhone 15 Pro

If you want the best iPhone money can buy in 2024, you have two options: the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. They have the same chipset, similar display technology, nearly identical cameras, etc. It's a really close battle, save for the fact that the iPhone 15 Pro is $200 cheaper.

It might be tempting to save some cash and choose the iPhone 15 Pro, but I recommend you splurge for the larger (and more expensive) iPhone 15 Pro Max. Why? Let me explain.
It's a big iPhone you won't hate using
