This year's iPhone XR to sport telephoto lens

A report coming from a Chinese supply chain claims that the successor of the iPhone XR will borrow one of iPhone XS and XS Max key features - the 2x optical zoom. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of info regarding the camera setup but it's believed that there won't be any major upgrades.
