iPhone 15 Pro Max users are showing off the phone's 5x zoom abilities on TikTok.
Samsung fans pointed out that they've enjoyed super zoom on the Galaxy S23 Ultra since February.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra can zoom in twice as much, to 10x.

It's a cycle that many Android owners are used to by now. A new iPhone comes out, introducing a new feature to Apple fans that generates buzz but that Android owners have been enjoying for months — and sometimes years.

The latest example is the 5x telephoto camera on Apple's top-of-the-line smartphone, the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
