As the analyst shared in a blog post but also on Twitter, Apple has now nominated its suppliers for the new iPhone 14 front camera. Some of them are already partners with Apple, such as Sony – which will continue to provide camera sensors for the new iPhone. The lenses will be provided by Genius and Largan, while the new focus unit comes from Alps and Luxshare. However, in terms of the front camera unit, Apple will partner Cowell and, for the first time, the South Korean company LG Innotek. The collaboration between Apple and LG Innotek was already reported last month, after the Cupertino-based company shut down parts from Chinese camera makers due to quality problems. According to Kuo, the iPhone 14 will represent the biggest upgrade of Apple’s smartphone camera on the front in years. The analyst predicts that the new camera will have autofocus, which will result in significantly better quality for taking photos and videos compared to the current still camera. Other upgrades include a six-part lens, as opposed to the existing five-part lens. The front camera of the iPhone 14 is also expected to have a larger aperture of f / 1.9. By comparison, the iPhone’s front-facing camera remains almost identical to the iPhone 11 when Apple introduced a new 12-megapixel lens with f / 2.2 aperture.
More camera upgrades are coming to the iPhone 14 Pro
While selfie camera enhancements should be available for the entire iPhone 14 series, some of the upgrades will be limited to the more expensive iPhone 14 Pro models. Earlier reports revealed that this year’s Pro models will have a new wide-angle camera with a 48-megapixel sensor capable of capturing 8K video. Unfortunately, the basic iPhone 14 models are rumored to retain the same set of rear cameras with wide-angle and ultra-wide 12-megapixel lenses each. Of course, this does not mean that other aspects of these lenses will not be upgraded. The iPhone 14 will be available in four different versions, with two regular models and two Pro models. The small iPhone is expected to be discontinued and will be replaced by a new 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max, while the Pro models will remain the same size as the current generation, but this time with a new screen design that eliminates the notch. . 9to5Mac has also heard from sources that some of the new iPhones will stick with the A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone 13, while others (probably the iPhone 14 Pro models) will receive the new A16 chip. Apple is likely to announce the new iPhones in September. FTC: We use affiliate links that automatically generate revenue. More. Take a look at 9to5Mac on YouTube for more Apple news:
