iPhone 14 Pro models are likely to be the only ones to feature the 48MP camera system, which will be capable of recording 8K video.

According to a new report, famous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the increased size of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max's rear camera array is due to the all-new 48-megapixel Wide camera systems.

Kuo responded to Max Weinbach's recent release of schematics in a tweet. According to the schematics, the rear camera plateau of the iPhone 14 Pro versions will rise by nearly 5% in each dimension, rising from 35.01mm to 36.73mm and from 36.24mm to 38.21mm. The bulge will also protrude further from the device, rising from 3.60mm on the iPhone 13 Pro to 4.17mm on the iPhone 14 Pro.

"The main reason for the larger and more prominent camera bump," according to Kuo, is "upgrading the back camera to 48MP." With the increase to 48MP, the diagonal length of the iPhone's contact image sensor (CIS) is poised to increase by 25 to 35 percent. Similarly, the height of the camera's lens system will rise by 5 to 10%.

Aside from replacing the notch with a new TrueDepth camera array with a pill and hole-punch design, Kuo, Taiwanese research firm TrendForce, and Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu have all cited the iPhone 14 Pro's 48MP Wide camera.

iPhone 14 Pro models are likely to be the only ones to feature the 48MP camera system, which will be capable of recording 8K video. This represents a considerable upgrade over the iPhone 13 Pro's 12MP camera and 4K video recording capabilities, which were both introduced last year. High-resolution 8K films produced with the iPhone 14 Pro are also supposed to be compatible with Apple's long-rumored AR/VR headset, which will be released later this year.

The camera quality on the iPhone 14 Pro models, according to Kuo, will "raise mobile phone camera photography to a new level."
