Some rumours have it at 3.5X, lower than the current 5X. However, if it is 48 MP at 3.5X, then it can be cropped to 12 MP at 7X without digital interpolation. Apple calls this "optical" zoom.where do you get the 3.5/7x zoom from?
For example, this is how the 16e gets 1X and 2X with a camera with just one lens.
