Apple should be the laziest brand in the industry, so many people may not understand. But think about how many years an iPhone's appearance ID takes at least three or even four years, how many years a charger on an iPhone is used, and how many years the iPhone's camera changes. This is true of Apple in both design and component performance.
Now the 12 million pixels on the iPhone have not changed for seven years, and the query has learned that since the 2015 iPhone 6S has been used to the present 12 million pixels, although Apple will upgrade the sensor every year, but the pixels have not changed. For friends who do not understand sensors, they will think that Apple's camera has not changed in six years.
Now the good news has finally come, the iPhone 14 series to upgrade the camera pixels, most likely to upgrade to 48 million pixels, and the sensor is upgraded together. Industry analysis Apple's approach is to prepare for the future of 8K, after all, recording 8K video requires at least 33 million pixels, and you can't reach the big pixels at the bottom.
Industry breaking news that the iPhone 14 Pro's wide-angle main camera is 48 million pixels, its sensor size is 1/1.3 inch, the single pixel is 1.22μm and it supports quad pixels in one. Compared to the previous generation's 12-megapixels, this sensor has increased its size by about 21%. Probably knowledgeable people have seen that the iPhone 14 Pro's sensor is upgraded and the pixel is not worth seeing compared with the current Android camp. But the place of apple cattle is here, the hardware parameters are not as good as you, but the overall experience is far beyond Android, especially in the video recording, the Android camp has a count which is the opponent.
In fact, the upgrade to 48 million pixels was reported as early as 2020, and the industry believes that it will be achieved on the iPhone 13 Pro series. In reality, last year, Apple hit the whistleblower in the face with 12 million pixels, but this year is really different. Because after the iPhone 13 series came out last year, Apple executives responded to the question of taking pictures. He said at the time that the camera module was generally determined a year or even two years in advance, and temporary changes were impossible. Think about the 48 MEGApixels that started in 2020, so it's highly likely to be achieved this year.
