The iPhone 14 series and the hardware it will include are the subject of more rumours and reports than ever before as the launch event approaches. Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the most famous analysts and tippers on all things Apple, provided one of the most recent reports to the globe. A new ultrawide camera sensor with 1.4-m pixels will allegedly be included in the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, according to Kuo. In contrast, the iPhone 13's camera sensors are around 1.0 mm thick.

(3/4) I predict two iPhone 14 Pro models' ultra-wide cameras will upgrade to 1.4µm (vs. iPhone 13 Pro's 1.0µm). CIS (CMOS image sensor), VCM (voice coil motor), and CCM (compact camera module) have a significant unit price increase in this upgrade, with about 70%, 45%, and 40%.

(4/4) Other components' price increases are limited. Sony (CIS), Minebea (first VCM supplier), Largan (second supplier), and LG Innotek (CCM) are the significant beneficiaries of the ultra-wide camera upgrade.

Let's hope they will do the same for the telephoto lens… Much more useful than wide angle.

Reportedly, the size of the sensor and each individual pixel, rather than the number of pixels, has long been recognized as having a greater impact on image quality than pixel count, especially in low-light situations. More data can be captured by a sensor by making the pixel size smaller. The downside of decreasing pixel sizes is that they increase the amount of noise and grain in an image.

By giving the CPU more data to work with, Apple's decision to employ sensors with slightly bigger pixels could produce detailed images and maybe improve low-light performance. According to Kuo, a new voice coil motor (VCM) and a new compact camera module will be added to the new CMOS image sensor. These parts will all cost up to 70% more than those used in the previous iPhone 13 Pro versions. Kuo also thinks that Minebea and Largan would handle the VCM while Sony will provide the CMOS sensors. LG will provide the primary compact camera module.

The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are anticipated to include a new 48MP primary camera that employs 4-in-1 pixel binning in addition to the new ultrawide sensor and camera module. From the existing 12MP camera sensors that Apple has been employing for the iPhone, this will be a significant improvement.

The final image ought to have significantly better low-light performance and more accurate colour shots. Both the iPhone 14 Pro and the 14 Pro's front cameras will get a significant improvement with autofocus and a considerably wider f/1.9 aperture.
