Iphone 14 | iPhone 14: Finally – this new feature is overdue | apple iphone

Apple has a reputation for not completely reinventing the smartphone every year. New features are often few and far between. With the iPhone 14, the manufacturer is apparently finally turning to a feature that it has neglected in the last few models.

What is meant is the front camera, which has been used more or less unchanged in the last iPhone generations. The selfies have nevertheless improved, since software and chipsets have made a big leap forward. But the lens itself could use an upgrade. And that will probably also happen in 2022: The selfie camera of the iPhone 14 (all rumors here) should cost three times as much as its counterpart in the previous model. This emerges from a report by the South Korean publication ETNews.

iPhone 14: Selfie fans can rejoice

Of course, higher costs are no guarantee of better quality. But it seems as if we could actually prepare for a small revolution. According to the report, Apple will take its front camera to a new level. In the eyes of the company, this was previously a low-end component, from now on it will be classified as high-end.

Apple will part with Chinese suppliers and bring LG Innotek on board. The company has supplied Apple with lenses for the excellent main iPhone cameras in the past. It can therefore be assumed that the quality of the selfies will increase noticeably.

The switch to LG Innotek should actually have taken place with the iPhone 15. But quality defects at Chinese suppliers have led to a rethink, so that the iPhone 14 should already have the high-end front camera. It remains to be seen whether this will actually happen.

Meanwhile, you can still snap great selfies with the current models – although the lens responsible for this could use an upgrade. Our test of the iPhone 13 Pro Max proves that the self-portraits are still impressive.
