Ming-Chi Kuo: iPhone 14 Pro’s New 48MP Camera System Reason for Larger Camera Bump Due

Well-connected Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the increased size of the iPhone 14 Pro and ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max’s rear camera array is due to an all-new 48-megapixel wide camera system.

In a tweet, Kuo responded to a set of leaked schematics recently shared online by Max Weinbach. The schematics showed that the rear camera plateau of the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ models will increase by about five percent in each dimension. The width is shown to be increased from a width of 35.01mm to 36.73mm and a height of 36.24mm to 38.21mm. The bump itself was also portrayed to protrude further from the device, increasing from 3.60mm on the iPhone 13 Pro to 4.17mm on the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌.



Kuo said that “the main reason for the larger and more prominent camera bump” is due to “upgrading the rear camera to 48MP.” The height of the camera’s lens system will increase by five to ten percent.

The diagonal length of the iPhone’s contact image sensor (CIS) is set to increase by 25 to 35 percent with the jump to 48MP.
