The 3.5x zoom lens from the Huawei P50 Pro and the 4x camera from Google’s Pixel 6 Pro prove that if optimized and used correctly, such a camera can be great for portraits, as well as for long-range zoom - at least given that Apple manages to pull off the same Super Res Zoom magic that Google and Huawei are so good at. What’s more likely to happen is that the company will settle for a 3.5-4x optical zoom lens with a short focusing distance, which will still be used for Portrait Mode photography - this is important to Apple, as it’s become a staple of the iPhone camera. That being said, I don’t expect Apple to add a fourth camera to the iPhone 15 Pro series.

7 YEARS FROM NOW GAME STORY UPGRADE

This comes as no surprise, as the iPhone 13 Pro already received an upgrade from a 2x zoom lens to a 3x one, so it’s very likely that the iPhone 14 Pro will stick to the same zoom lens. According to usually reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s planning to bring a periscope zoom camera to the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max - so in 2023. Of course, when one of the iPhone’s cameras is rumored to get a big upgrade, it only makes sense to ask, “what about the other two?!”. According to rumors, this one was actually supposed to arrive in late 2022, which would have made perfect sense, but apparently, Cupertino is facing some production challenges.Ī periscope zoom camera on iPhone 15 Pro?

If everything goes to plan, iPhone 14 series will be released in September 2022, while the company's first-ever AR/VR headset is said to debut as early as 2023. Pixels are generally super small, so combining four into one allows for more light intake, and light is crucial for small camera sensors. Instead, Apple will probably use a trick called “pixel-binning,” where multiple pixels are combined into one bigger pixel. The iPhone 14 Pro likely won’t take 48MP photos by default. I exclude the Galaxy S22 Ultra, since we haven't tested this one properly just yet. In AR/VR, which essentially has two small displays through which you need to see a whole world, resolution is much more important than it is on your tiny phone screen - the higher, the better.Īpple’s powerful processors are far superior to what Qualcomm or Samsung’s Exynos chips can do, and this includes rendering video, so I expect 8K from the iPhone 14 Pro to look far superior to what Samsung or Xiaomi have been able to offer up until now. However, the truth is that Apple has another very important reason to switch to a 48MP, 8K camera, and that’s the company’s upcoming AR/VR headset. Although 8K isn’t exactly necessary now, this might change in the next few years. So, when 8K TVs are still expensive, and even pros don’t record in 8K, why is Apple on board for it? Future-proofing. You need at least a 33.2MP camera to shoot 8K videos.
