Kuo: iPhone 14 Pro's Larger Camera Bump Due to New 48MP Camera System

[DMG35]

I'd really like to see a super zoom lens like on the S22 Ultra. I know its gimmicky but its still fun as heck and you can take some amazing close up shots from really far away.

I’m more than ok with a little camera bump if needed for an even better quality camera. People seem to obsess over it, but it’s never really bothered me.

Glad to see you like it wobble. ?
I am still struggling to find a case for the 13 pro so that it does not wobble when using it on a surface.

If that’s the reason I guess it is justified but the camera bump and lens array is poor design and Apple could do better… but I bet they don’t because they want iPhone Pros to be universally recognized and identified.

It’s all about mindshare. When you see those eyes looking at you, you know immediately it’s an iPhone.

I think this is exactly what they’ll do. The quality of the photos will improve dramatically and be a huge feature of the Pro series.

the perceived quality of the phots, maybe ... it's all part of Apple's computational photography, hence depending on a computer algorithm, driving the need for faster SOCs - that does not necessarily improve the quality.
It will certainly give the average consumer more options

8K? How about letting us do 1080p24?

 

[Tagbert]

And what other advantages does the 48 mp camera have besides 8K video?

Better detail in photos. Ability to crop and zoom.

I don’t care about megapixels. I care about better-looking photos. They’re not the same.

It’s really more of the iCamera that happens to have a phone app

 

[anthogag]

More camera bump…Apple is increasing the “Pro”.

 

[cwwilson]

It's crazy how long it's been since Apple increased the MP on the iPhones. I know megapixels aren't everything but we've been at 12 for what feels like ages.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

If you use a case (besides the very slim ones), the bump is pretty insignificant

 

[Coochie Boogs]

Sometimes, I just want Apple to move away from these large camera bumps. As much as I love the design of iPhones the camera bump on the 11 and up are just ugly. Just my opinion.

 

[Realityck]

I don’t care about megapixels. I care about better-looking photos. They’re not the same.

At what point does the thin camera designs of iPhones need to use larger sensors/better lenses to become equivalent of real pocket cameras? I wonder how much further we can go before the photography gains become nonexistent? Digital image processing can only benefit you so much.

Never was and never will be a problem, so yay, better camera.

 

[JM]

Seriously, though. What the heck is their problem with just making the phone body WIDER so there isn’t this ridiculous And cumbersome camera bump? ?‍♂️?

 

[jz0309]

To remove the bump and make the back flat again.

not gonna happen for multiple versions to come, if ever

 

[paul4339]

I’m ok with the trade-off of making the phone body slightly thicker so that the camera ‘bump’ is the thickness of a standard case…. This way the camera becomes roughly flush with the case and any additional thickness to the body can be used for battery.

However if the bump is so big, it protrudes beyond even the case, then it may look too weird.

 

[B4U]

If you use a case (besides the very slim ones), the bump is pretty insignificant

Well, even the Otterbox commuter case has to have a slight bump around that... 😓

 

[FelixDerKater]

Take that as license to put a little more battery capacity into the main section of the phone instead of having a larger protrusion.

 

[cardfan]

Think I’ll keep 12 max another year or two before downgrading camera for more mp.

 

[calstanford]

It's crazy how long it's been since Apple increased the MP on the iPhones. I know megapixels aren't everything but we've been at 12 for what feels like ages.

and they want to stay there for more years with this 48->12 MP cam

 

[cocoua]

Good luck sending 8K proress over WIFI!! ???
Oh wait.. you can use USB 2.0 (lighting)

IPhone 14 Pro with USB-2 trsanfer speed.

Samsung should make fun of this

 

[DocMultimedia]

Better camera = buy. For me.

 

[Bluegold101]

They need to give some attention to the front facing camera. If I knew how bad the selfie camera was for the 13 pro max , I never would have bought it. Good thing I didn't trade in my xs max.
