On March 28, Tianfeng International analyst Guo Mingxi broke the news that Apple will be equipped with a more powerful camera system on the iPhone 14 series, which may lead to the camera module becoming larger and more convex. Among them, the iPhone 14 Pro/Max is still designed for the rear triple camera, but the area of the module is larger, and the width is expected to exceed 1/2 of the width of the fuselage.
Guo Mingxi believes that the iPhone 14 Pro/Max will use a 48-megapixel sensor to replace the ancestral 12-megapixel sensor. The diagonal length of this new sensor is increased by 25% to 30% compared with the previous generation, and the sensor area will increase by a lot, which will lead to a larger space occupied by the lens module. At the same time, Apple also equipped the new machine with a 7P lens, which will also increase the height of the camera by 5% to 10%.
From the design drawings leaked on the Internet, it is understood that the length and width of the iPhone 14 Pro camera module reach 38.21 * 36.73mm, and the raised height is 4.17mm. The iPhone 13 Pro camera module has a length and width of 36.24*35.01mm and a raised height of 3.6mm. If the parameters on the design drawing are accurate, then the camera module of the iPhone 14 series is really a full circle larger, and it is estimated that the weight of the fuselage will increase accordingly.
Previously, there were media reports that Sony is developing a new generation of camera sensors for Apple, which is likely to be a new generation of 48 million pixel main cameras. It has a 1/1.3-inch outsole, but the unit pixel area is only 1.25 m, which is not as good as the previous generation of iPhone 13 Pro. In low-light situations, the iPhone 14 Pro should improve the quality of shooting with pixel all-in-one technology, and the 48-megapixel sensor will also support 8K video shooting.
Apple is constantly expanding the difference between the ordinary version of the iPhone series and the Pro version, combined with the current news, the iPhone 14 should be little different from the iPhone 13, equipped with A16 chip based on A15 fine-tuning, retaining the bangs screen and dual camera design, the probability is still the ancestral 12 million pixel sensor.
The iPhone 14 Pro will be equipped with a new A16 Pro chip, and upgraded to a full-screen design for digging holes, and the fuselage is expected to use titanium alloy materials. Nowadays, the camera module has also ushered in a major upgrade, the iPhone 14 Pro series is really getting more and more powerful, and it is estimated that the price will reach a new high.
