Apple has increased the rear camera sensor from 12 megapixels to 48 megapixels in the new iPhone models. The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max camera also uses an algorithm called Photonic engine for image processing. With the 14 Pro models, 48MP ProRAW photos can be taken. According to Apple, ProRAW photos take up about 75MB of phone memory. More importantly, the Lightning port of the iPhone 14 Pro series is limited to USB 2.0 speed.
Apple copied some features of Xiaomi for iPhone 14
iPhone 14 Pros support USB 2.0 speed for data transfer
This means that ProRAW photos will take quite a long time to transfer to the computer. We are talking about a maximum transfer rate of 480Mbps. Previous models also supported this speed; While developing the cameras, Apple did not make any changes to the speed of the Lightning port.
Apple: AirDrop ProRAW photos
Apple recommends using AirDrop instead of a cable when transferring ProRAW photos taken with the iPhone 14 Pro Max or 14 Pro to a Mac computer or Windows PC. And the only way to access ProRAW photos in full resolution from a Mac or other Apple device is to use iCloud Photos.
USB-C stuck with iPhone 15
The Lightning connector of the iPad Pro, which was released in 2015, supports USB 3.0, which can reach speeds of up to 5 Gbps. Apple did not develop in this direction in the iPhone 14 family, but rumors indicate that the iPhone 15 models will come with a USB-C port instead of Lightning. That means data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps or even 40 Gpbs with Thunderbolt 3 support.
