Per the analyst, all four phones in the lineup – the 6.1-inches iPhone 14, the 6.7-inches iPhone 14 Max, the 6.1-inches iPhone 14 Pro, and the 6.7-inches iPhone 14 Pro Max – will get an upgraded front camera with autofocus and f/1.9 aperture.
How will a smaller f-number and autofocus benefit the iPhone 14 front camera?
Autofocus or AF is a feature that adjusts the camera focus automatically to ensure that the subject looks sharp. In contrast, with fixed or manual focus, it’s your job to nail the focus.
As for the aperture, it’s a hole in the camera that controls how much light comes through the lens and the aperture setting, the f-number, is a ratio that compares the focal length to the aperture diameter.
Simply put, the lower the f-number, the larger the hole. So a smaller f-number means more light will reach the sensor, which means images will come out brighter. A lower aperture also creates a nice depth of field.
The regular models will continue to feature the notch and may run on a slightly improved version of last year’s A15 Bionic. Apple is expected to reveal the iPhone 14 series in September.
