However, that could change in 2022. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, he claims that Apple is expected to introduce a massive camera upgrade for 2022’s iPhone 14. Kuo believes that with the iPhone 14, Apple will introduce a massive 48MP sensor to the iPhone. Sure, this is smaller compared to some of the sensors we’re seeing in Android phones, but it’s a huge jump over the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s 12MP sensor.
Kuo claims that the new camera will not only feature a larger megapixel count, but will also be capable of recording 8K video. Right now, the iPhone 12 Pro Max tops out at 4K video, so 8K would be a huge leap forwards. Granted, not many people have the need to shoot in 8K, but it’s not a bad thing to have features that are futureproofed.
Plus, some videographers might appreciate having a higher resolution as it means that when videos are cropped or zoomed into, a good deal of details will still remain and won’t become a pixelated mess.
