Apple expert: With iOS 14, the new iPhone gets a better camera again

Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple analyst at TF International Securities, spoke via Twitter in mid-April about the camera system of the new iPhone generation.

iPhone 14 camera: autofocus and better apertures

The analyst assumes that the new iPhone front camera will have an autofocus function for the first time. In addition, according to Kuo on Twitter, a better aperture is used than before: the iPhone 13 has an f/2.2 aperture, the iPhone 14 generations are to be equipped with an f/1.9 aperture. These new functions are particularly important for image quality and depth of focus for selfies, FaceTime or video calls and live streaming.

AF support and a lower f-number can provide a better shallow depth-of-field effect for selfie/portrait mode. In addition, AF can also enhance the focus effect for FaceTime/video call/live streaming.

Other sources also predict innovations in the camera

Such forecasts can only be confirmed by Apple. However, it is relatively likely that there will be innovations in the iPhone 14 camera: Kuo had already published forecasts for the camera features in September last year and according to MacRumors there are also some rumors circulating on the subject from other sources that are not involved Kuo communicate.

Larger smartphones more popular: there may not be an iPhone 14 mini

The new iPhone generation is expected to be launched in September this year. As MacRumors reports, Apple is said to forgo selling an iPhone mini because the mini models have not been as popular as the larger iPhones recently. Accordingly, an iPhone 14 (6.1 inch), an iPhone 14 Max (6.7 inch) and an iPhone 14 Pro Max are to be launched. MacRumors further reports that the notch on the Pro model is to be replaced by other technology in favor of a design change. In addition, rumors have already leaked at WWDC 2020 that AR functions will be integrated into the new iPhone 14. This information is a forecast from people outside of Apple: it remains to be seen which features the new iPhone generation will actually offer Apple fans.
