stand on line Iphone The number 14 is not yet available in Brazil, but the distribution of the first devices in the US began on the 16th. And with it the first analyzes of one of the most important features, especially in the Pro and Pro Max: the cameras.
In addition, some conclusions can also be expected by comparing the technical specifications of the lens system (the same on both models).
Processing improvements
The first software change (and it’s on all iPhone 14 models, not just the Pro): Photonic Engine, something like the “Optical Engine”. According to Jordan Palmer, from the specialist site tom guide, This is a “computer photography model that improves low-light and low-light photos”.
It uses Apple’s technology called Deep Fusion so that multiple photos are taken at the same time with each click, each with different camera settings. Therefore, through Machine learning and processing, these images are combined into a single image, which combines the best characteristics of the produced images. This is what is presented to you on the screen.
According to Palmer, the new product will “capture more detail, retain more texture, improve exposure to light, and make colors more vibrant.”
Wide angle sensor
The camera sensor went from 12MP on the iPhone 13 to 48MP on the 14. According to Vitor Silva, iPhone Product Manager, this will perform better in photos taken in low-light environments.
This improvement was confirmed by Sebastiaan de With, a former Apple designer and creator of the Halide app (which aims to further improve cameras Iphone). in Text with your impressions, De With says the wide angle has undergone the biggest changes in the process.
In photography, a wide angle is a lens that has a wider angle of view than the human eye. Therefore, it is used to record landscapes or larger environments.
De With says the iPhone 14 Pro’s lens is now wider, capable of capturing roughly 20% more light than the previous model.
In addition, he highlighted the improvement in ISO, an indicator that measures the sensitivity of an image sensor. The lower it is, the lower the sensitivity, so the image needs more light.
The four times higher resolution sensor acts as if you clicked the 12MP image, but in the end it only combines four pixels into one. So the image quality is higher, which reduces the small resolution gaps.
To Patrick Holland from the tech site CNET, This improvement is seen in images with less light. He wrote, “Last year I used the iPhone 13 Pro as my daily phone. In the week I used the 14 Pro, the improvement was noticeable.” “Image quality and detail are great for a cell phone photo.”
Minimum focus distance
Another change that De With discovered is in the minimum focus distance for the wide angle.
As the name suggests, it is the distance needed for the camera to focus on the object you want to photograph. This means, in theory, that the shorter the minimum focus distance, the better for the photographer.
The minimum distance went from 150mm on the 13 Pro to 200mm on the 14 Pro. Of course, it seems like a simple reduction, but it really reduces the chances smart phone Automatically switches between the wide-angle camera and the ultra-wide-angle camera (which can focus at a distance of up to 20mm).
Telephoto and ultra wide angle
There hasn’t been much change in the telephoto camera, which is generally meant to produce images where the photographer is far from the subject. The main thing is that the optical zoom is now 3X.
Apple itself has not made a clear communication about what could have changed, only saying that it was an “improvement”.
“The telephoto camera is basically identical to the 13 Pro, but it gets a boost due to the optical engine,” Holland sums up.
In the ultra-wide angle, Palmer notes that the sensor is twice as large as the iPhone 13 Pro. It’s with bets that this sensor, along with a more sensitive ISO, could make this camera a good choice for getting high-quality photos. Apple itself declared, in a general way, that it could lead to “three times better photos”.

In the new iPhone 14, there have been significant changes regarding the front of the device. The classic rectangular notch gave way to “Dynamic Island,” a mix of software and hardware on top, with a focus on all notifications and background activities. But what does this mean for the camera?
Although it has been scaled down to fit the “Dynamic Island”, it also outperforms its iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max counterparts. For the first time, the front camera will have variable and auto focus. Also, increasing the aperture should result in greater depth of field and more light entering.
“These are the best front camera selfies I’ve ever seen,” Palmer says of testing he did with the iPhone Pro 14, and notes that they improve even in low-light environments, as the optical engine also runs on the front camera.
Holland sums up: “Previous iPhones made selfies look boring. The 14 Pro’s front camera has better definition and a lighter touch in the way it handles skin tones.”
