Apple doesn’t like to frequently update the camera hardware on its iPhones. It’s like Samsung’s practice of sticking to 25W charging for many years. However, “some things never change and some things do…” @Morpheus, Matrix. The last part of Morpheus’ words refer to the upcoming iPhone 14 series. We know that the iPhone 14 Pro Max will use a 48MP camera lens instead of a 12MP. In addition, the thickness of the camera module will also be changed. The camera module will protrude.
Camera iPhone 14 Pro Max
Today, a Chinese leaker released the details of the iPhone 14 series camera module. As he said, “The iPhone 14 Pro series has an ultra-wide, high-pixel rear camera module which is visible to the naked eye. Apple’s camera experience has always been on top. The only flaw was the lack of an ultra-telephoto lens.”
The main camera sensor size of the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be increased to 1/1.3 inch, with a single 1.22μm pixel. It will also have quad-pixel (12MP) integration support. This sensor can be customized for Sony.
The reason why iPhone 14 Pro models need to upgrade the imaging module should be to comply with the industry trend. After all, recording 8K 16:9 video requires at least a 33MP lens. At present, the 200 megapixel Android flagship is about to hit the market. It seems unreasonable that Apple still insists on the ancestral 12 megapixel.
What else
With stronger camera hardware, the price of the iPhone 14 Pro will definitely increase. Pricing for the iPhone 14 Pro will start at $1,099, which is $100 more than the iPhone 13 Pro.
The standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will use a diagonally placed dual camera arrangement. At the same time, the Pro variants – iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max – will use a triple camera module. The camera bump of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max reaches 4.17mm, while the body thickness is 7.85mm.
Of course, the Cupertino-based company has already started production of the upcoming models. According to supply chain sources, module shipments of high-end versions remain strong in the second half.
Well, in case of conclusion, this year’s Apple iPhone 14 series will be divided into four models in two sizes. They will differ in looks, processor, camera and other important features which have a huge impact when buying a new phone.
