A set of leaked schematics of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 Pro shows a rear camera house with five percent larger dimensions. This according to noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, could serve to accommodate a new 48 megapixel camera.
Where the iPhone 13 Pro’s camera protrusion measures 3.6 mm, it appears Apple is increasing the camera’s width from 35.01 mm to 36.73 mm. Similarly, Apple increased the component’s height from 36.24 mm to 38.12 mm.
If true, Apple is finally catching up with other smartphone brands that’ve released devices with the more powerful cameras.
Kuo tweeted, “The main reason for the larger and more prominent rear-camera bump” is the new 48MP camera system.
This would mark a huge update from the current 12 megapixel rear camera found on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max handsets. Kuo stated the diagonal length of the contact image sensor of the new iPhone will increase by 20 percent to 35 percent. Its height will also increase by 5 percent to 10 percent.
With those alleged improvements on the handset’s camera and the pill and hole-punch TrueDepth camera array design, it looks like the new models will be a good choice for users who have waiting for the iPhone 14.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
