The iPhone 14 Pro is expected to have the same configuration of a primary, ultrawide, and telephoto array of cameras, so don’t expect a significant change in that regard. Apple phones frequently appear in our list of the best camera phones, so that’s not a bad thing.
However, one rumour is that the iPhone 14 Pro would include a 48MP primary camera, which would finally represent a departure from the 12MP sensors Apple has relied on for years. Although Cupertino has some of the greatest computational photography available, having more megapixels to work with will certainly offer the iPhone 14 Pro greater latitude when it comes to managing light and details; we could be reaching a point where megapixels count once more.
Although the ultrawide camera has not received any improvements, we would be shocked if no efforts were made to enhance the field of vision and assist reduce any edge distortion.
A patent from Apple suggests that the business is developing a zoom camera in the periscope manner, so there is potential for the telephoto lens to gain some zoom. The iPhone 14 Pro would be the model for which such a feature would first appear. However, to further complicate matters, Apple oracle Ming-Chi Kuo asserts that the periscope camera won’t debut until the iPhone 15 in 2023. The iPhone 14 Pro could be a major letdown this year because there isn’t a telephoto improvement (opens in new tab).
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the front-facing camera on all iPhone 14 models will be updated. It appears that this will include a new, larger aperture, a more intricate 6-part lens, and the initial inclusion of autofocus. By combining these features, the iPhone’s selfie camera should be able to capture photographs that are more vivid, easier to concentrate on, and less likely to exhibit distortion.
Additionally, according to Kuo’s most recent report, Apple has switched lens manufacturers since the existing one has “coating-crack” quality problems. According to reports, Apple has switched to a new supplier, Largan, for its order of 10 million devices.

Specifications and battery life of the iPhone 14 Pro
The A16 Bionic processor, which is said to have better performance overall than the A15 Bionic, is anticipated to replace the A15 Bionic with the iPhone 14 Pro series.
However, a number of speculations have suggested that the iPhone 14 will continue to use the A15 Bionic processor, which would result in differences in the models’ fundamental specifications. Apple has always included new iPhones with improved silicon, so this would be a first.
That might not be a bad thing because the A15 Bionic is still a highly strong chip and more than capable of handling just about any work that requires a smartphone. We have thus considered what the A16 may provide to make purchasing an iPhone 14 Pro preferable to a normal iPhone 14 worthwhile.
The iPhone 14 Pro, according to DigiTimes, will have 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM, while the standard iPhone 14 could continue to use LPDDR4X, an older and slower RAM technology. The iPhone 14 Pro should perform well when coupled with the A16 Bionic thanks to LPDDR5, the most recent technology in mobile phone RAM.
There haven’t been any confirmed storage rumours for the iPhone 14 Pro yet, although the maximum amount of storage is probably 1TB.
All models—aside from the iPhone 14 Pro Max—will see a minor size boost, according to a source on Weibo who claims to be familiar with the battery capacity of the iPhone 14 family. It is true that the 14 Pro Max is becoming smaller, but hopefully not by much.
We’re certain that the iPhone 14 Pro will last as long as, if not longer than, the iPhone 13 Pro’s 11 hours and 42 minutes in our battery test, which has the phone continuously refresh web pages via a cellular connection until it runs out of power. As Apple improves chip and phone efficiency, we anticipate the iPhone 14 Pro Max to perform at least as well as the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which achieved a sizable 12 hours and 16 minutes.
Regarding 5G, we anticipate that the iPhone 14 Pro will employ a new, more compact 5G modem chip. Since it is smaller, it should consume less energy to operate and may have more space for the batteries to grow into. The already outstanding battery would be affected by this.
Unfortunately, it appears that Qualcomm’s new 5G CPU, the Snapdragon X70, will not benefit the iPhone 14 Pro from its innovations. The chip will have a first-of-its-kind 5G AI processor, which should enable the modem system to utilise artificial intelligence to improve a phone’s antenna and better control 5G beams flowing to and from a 5G phone. mmWave-based 5G networks are expected to be especially effective in venues like stadiums and arenas, according to Qualcomm, even if AI can also help control sub-6GHz 5G signals.
The iPhone 14 Pro could get satellite network connection in addition to cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity. A credible source claims that emergency satellite communications may be an option for the iPhone 14 models, even though the functionality wasn’t ready in time for the iPhone 13’s introduction last year. The concept is that you may text emergency services using satellite networks to let them know where you are if you’re in a place with poor cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.
