The puzzle of the upcoming iPhone 14 is getting more and more complete. A recent report now confirms a previous report. Accordingly, the new Apple cell phone is powerful, because with new technology, the front camera focuses better than ever.
Apple becomes one for the first time with the iPhone 14 Front camera with auto focus instead of fixed focus according to a recent report (source: ET News). As a result, Apple chooses LG Innotek as the manufacturer for the new selfie camera, the South Koreans are to contribute the component for the new Apple cell phone, as is Sharp. An unnamed Chinese provider was thrown out because there were probably quality problems.
iPhone 14: From now on auto instead of fixed focus with Apple’s selfie camera
Speaking of which: Apple classifies the front camera of the iPhone 14 as “high-end”, which is also reflected in the price. According to the report, the camera unit should cost almost three times as much as the previously installed models. Will this generally cause a price increase for cell phones? We hope not and rather believe that Apple will be able to save elsewhere. As early as April, the well-informed Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo mentioned the improved front camera, which is now confirmed with the latest report. What Kuo also noted:
- All models of the iPhone 14 should get the new selfie camera, including the cheap standard models.
- The aperture is expanded, instead of the previous ƒ/2.2 there is one with ƒ/1.9.
This function on the iPhone could be significantly improved with autofocus:

What does this bring? Kuo points to one improved depth of field for portrait photos and videos. Likewise, autofocus significantly improves the sharpness of FaceTime and Zoom video calls. In short: the iPhone 14 will be a really hot affair.
And this is what the Pro models of the iPhone 14 will look like in the end:
Apple will probably present the iPhone 14 in September, There will be four models again, although we will probably have to say goodbye to the mini version. Instead, there is an iPhone 14 Max with a larger 6.7-inch display alongside the normal iPhone 14 (6.1-inch). Basically the standard counterpart to the iPhone Pro Max.
