Another new rumor about the iPhone 14 has emerged, and this rumor is a little exciting, because Apple has not been making any innovations for the front camera of the phone for a long time. But it looks like Apple may upgrade the front camera on its smartphones for the first time since the iPhone 11.
Information comes from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo says that the upcoming iPhone family will receive 2 important updates on the front camera, one of which will be autofocus and the other will be a wider aperture.
Kuo says the iPhone 14’s aperture will drop from f/2.2 to f/1.9, and this switch will slightly increase the aperture so more light can be gathered on the sensor. In other words, the essence of the matter is that much better results can be obtained in low light shots with the front camera of the iPhone 14. Of course if this update happens.
The issue of autofocus was previously resolved through software, but if Apple opts for hardware autofocus for the first time with the iPhone 14, this will also give a more natural effect. This will open the door to a better image quality, especially in video calls and live streaming applications with the front camera.
On the other hand, it’s a bit of a surprise that Apple didn’t offer traditional autofocus for iPhone selfie cameras until now, as it’s a feature that many phone manufacturers use a lot. However, this feature is still not vital. Because the depth detection effect creates natural background blur in Portrait mode, making autofocus less necessary. Still, it’s good that this feature is coming.
