Apple has stuck with its 12MP sensors for the rear cameras for years. With the iPhone 14, Apple will introduce an all-new system that will shake up the flagship smartphone market forever, as long as Apple plays its cards right.

Despite the “lower resolution” 12-megapixel sensor, previous iPhones have consistently sported some of the best cameras in years, which just goes to show that resolution isn’t the be-all and end-all of a good camera. The reason Apple might use a lower resolution sensor is that it uses really good quality glass and Apple’s hardware and software do a great job of processing these images.
There are several leaks for this year’s iPhones that suggest Apple will be using a 48MP sensor at least in the iPhone 14 Pro models. Since this is an unofficial leak, there’s a good chance Apple is simply sticking with the iPhone 14 Pro’s 12MP sensor. Whether the improved sensor will actually be installed in the new smartphones will largely depend on how successful Apple has been in integrating it into its image processing systems. All of these things will become a lot clearer after Apple’s WWDC event.

If the iPhone 14 actually uses a 48-megapixel sensor, Apple can implement a system called image binning, which allows for better photos in the dark, less grain or noise in photos, and just a better image overall.
However, what has been confirmed about the cameras of the new iPhone 14 is that the front unit has received a major overhaul. The new front camera gets an autofocus system and a larger aperture at f/1.9. The iPhone 13 uses a fixed focus front camera with an aperture of f/2.2.
Apple could ditch the infamous notch in favor of a hole or teardrop-shaped cutout.
Not only does the larger aperture have more light and therefore more data for the sensors, it also has the added benefit of giving the photos a shallower depth of field. This basically means that the bokeh or “background blur” in selfie/portrait mode is better formed, more pronounced and much more natural.
The better front camera also means the iPhone 14 offers a better FaceTiming, video calling or live streaming experience.
There are also rumors suggesting that Apple will ditch the infamous notch for a hole or pill-shaped cutout. This has prompted Apple to opt for a revamped under-display Face ID system.
