The iPhone 14 will have a 48Mpx camera and periscope zoom in 2023

The year 2022 is about to begin, and the iPhone that will see the light at the end of it also begins to emerge with rumors about a 48Mpx camera and 8K video.

Who can at this point launch rumors about the next iPhone 14 and have some repercussion in the media? Well, not many people, but the list of any of you surely includes Ming-Chi Kuo. This famous analyst who tells you the same thing to the contrary a few weeks later, today he launches his prediction about the iPhone 14, which he says will include a 48Mpx camera. This camera would be limited only to the Pro models, both the iPhone 14 Pro and the 14 Pro Max, and in addition to being able to capture high quality photos, it would also allow 8K video recording.

Why do we want 8K video when 4K television screens are just becoming mainstream? Well according to Kuo to be able to use those videos in the new mixed reality glasses (AR / VR) that will also see the light next year, according to the latest rumors. This new camera could adapt the quality of the images obtained depending on the ambient light, so that when conditions are optimal, 48Mpx would be used and when light is scarce, 12Mpx would be used so that the quality of the photos would be higher. This technology, called Pixel Binning, is already used in some Android phones, and consists of grouping pixels into one, generally 4: 1, that is why reducing from 48Mpx to 12Mpx.

The improvements in the camera will continue next year, and Kuo does not stay in the iPhone 14 but risks advancing to the 2023 model that ensures it will have what is called "Periscope Zoom". Why this type of Zoom? To increase the distance between the lens and the image sensor for a longer optical zoom. The limitation in the zoom of mobile phones is due in large part to the low thickness of the same, and this periscope zoom manages to bypass this limitation to a large extent. The technology works like submarine periscopes do: light entering the lens is reflected through mirrors and prisms to reach the sensor, which is not located directly behind the lens.
