Apple may not include a 48MP camera on the iPhone 14 Pro.
The iPhone 14 Pro may not include the anticipated 48-megapixel primary camera, which raises questions about how Apple may improve on the popularity of the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max..
The iPhone 14 Pro is expected to employ the same IMX703 sensors as the iPhone 13 Pro, according to Weibo user and well-known leaker It’s Fat. That’s a 12MP camera with a 1/1.67-inch sensor and 1.9 m pixels, not the 48MP update that was originally believed to be in the works.
Although Apple has been using 12MP sensors for its primary camera on iPhones going back to the iPhone 7, it has been enhancing the sensors each year while adding a variety of functions, from Portrait Mode and Night Mode to Cinematic mode. There’s no reason to rule out Cupertino’s future iPhones having a 12MP primary camera, and instead focusing on improving picture quality via software and image signal processing. You’ll find the iPhone 13 Pro Max atop our list of the finest camera phones because to Apple’s expertise in computational photography.
However, there’s a case to be made that software and artificial intelligence can only do so much. It’s also possible to take better photos with higher megapixels, which means you can crop in more after the fact.
Employing a 50MP primary lens instead of the 12MP camera that Google has been using for years in its Pixel phones, we saw this with Google’s Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The decision to increase the megapixel count of the primary camera on the newer Pixel phones was a sensible one. The Galaxy S22 Ultra, on the other hand, has a 108MP wide-angle sensor.
We are unable to verify the validity of the information provided by It’s Fat. This reported leak, however, should be taken with a grain of salt, since other rumour mills have stated that the next-generation Pro iPhones would sport a 48MP primary camera.
After all, the iPhone 14 series would benefit greatly from the inclusion of a 48MP primary camera to allow 8K video recording. iPhone 13 Pro can only record in 4K at the time, putting it behind Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. In light of the iPhone 13 Pro’s remarkable video capabilities, including its Cinematic and ProRes modes, we believe it is only a matter of time until Apple allows iPhones to record 8K video.
You may still be excited about the iPhone 14 Pro, even if it doesn’t have a 48MP primary camera. In light of the current speculation, we may anticipate an entirely new look with two camera cutouts instead of just one. Additionally, the iPhone 14 line might have USB-C connection and the return of Touch ID through an under-display fingerprint reader.
For the first time in years, the iPhone might be getting a major overhaul in September.
