An autofocus-enabled front-facing camera could let the iPhone 14 take clearer pictures even if you’re closer or further away from the camera. A wider lens – Kuo predicts f/1.9 vs. the iPhone 13’s f/2.2 – would add a touch of background blur and let in more light.
The selfie cam on Samsung’s Galaxy s22 has autofocus and lives inside a circular cutout. It’s not a common feature from other manufacturers; Google and OnePlus’ latest flagships are fixed focus.
Af support and a lower f-number can provide a better shallow depth-of-field effect for selfie/portrait mode. Af can also enhance the focus effect for facetime/video call/live streaming.
The iPhone 14 Pro will get a16-series processors, while current-gen A15 processors will power the regular models. Apple will also bump up the back camera resolution for its higher-end phones.
