Why no telephoto camera?

Reviewers noted the iPhone Duo's lack of a telephoto camera, a feature common on many high-end smartphones. Apple often makes design trade-offs, sometimes prioritising sleekness or other features over specific camera lenses. This decision might also relate to the complex engineering of a foldable device, where internal space is at a premium.
