If the trend continues, the iPhone 20 will look like today‘s DSLR camera.
The increased size of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max's rear camera array is due to all-new 48-megapixel Wide camera systems, according to reputable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
In a tweet, Kuo responded to leaked schematics recently shared by Max Weinbach. The schematics showed that the rear camera plateau of the iPhone 14 Pro models will increase by about five percent in each dimension, increasing from a width of 35.01mm to 36.73mm and a height of 36.24mm to 38.21mm. The bump itself is also set to protrude further from the device, increasing from 3.60mm on the iPhone 13 Pro to 4.17mm on the iPhone 14 Pro.
Kuo said that "the main reason for the larger and more prominent camera bump" is due to "upgrading the rear camera to 48MP." He added that the diagonal length of the iPhone's contact image sensor (CIS) is set to increase by to 25 to 35 percent with the jump to 48MP. Likewise, the height of the camera's lens system will increase by five to ten percent.
Along with the replacement of the notch with a new, pill and hole-punch TrueDepth camera array design, the 48MP Wide camera is among the iPhone 14 Pro's most widely rumored features, having been repeatedly mentioned by Kuo, Taiwanese research firm TrendForce, and Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu.
The 48MP camera system is expected to be limited to the iPhone 14 Pro models and allow for 8K video recording, offering a significant upgrade over the iPhone 13 Pro's 12MP camera and 4K video recording capabilities. High-resolution 8K videos recorded with the iPhone 14 Pro are also said to be be suitable for viewing on Apple's long-rumored AR/VR headset.
Kuo has previously said that he believes that the camera quality of the iPhone 14 Pro models will "elevate mobile phone camera photography to a new level."

Make a decent SE. Full screen face, touch ID on the wake/sleep button, no notch, USB C connector, better battery, updated design language. Plenty of wins there, Apple just doesn't want to.
No- saying everything is subjective is what people say when they don't know what they're talking about, which you obviously dont. Photographer that uses a phone... Good luck with that. Never said I was an artist, said I'm a photographer of over 20 years. Shame you don't listen.
With all of the “upgrades” they keep doing, why can’t they add Apple Pencil capability? It seems the technology is on hand given that it already works on the iPad. This would be massive in competing with the Samsung flagship phones.
I know that is my brothers gripe
He's a Samsung Note user (I think that's the name?) and he is a wizard with the stylus and loves -- LOVES -- it.
Apple simply can't win him (and those like him), no matter the large screen iPhone, w/o some Pencil compatibility.
And you have made an iPhone Pro Max and tested it yourself to prove that? The fact is, if Apple decided it was gonna make a 6.9 inch Pro Max, guess, it would have made it just as inconvenient as making it thicker. And there is dismissal there would pro to trade off in thickness - larger battery.
