Renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that all four iPhone 14 models due later this year may feature an upgraded front-facing camera with autofocus and a wider ƒ/1.9 aperture said in a tweet today.
The wider aperture will allow more light to pass through the lens and reach the front-facing camera sensor on iPhone 14 models. These camera upgrades could improve depth-of-field for portrait mode photos and videos, while autofocus could enhance focus during FaceTime and Zoom video calls, Kuo said. By contrast, the front-facing cameras on all iPhone 13 models are fixed focus and ƒ/2.2 aperture.
Kuo has previously claimed that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will also feature an upgraded rear camera system with a 48-megapixel wide-angle lens that can record 8K video, currently 4K.

Autofocus support and lower f-numbers allow for better shallow depth-of-field effects for selfie/portrait modes. In addition, AF can also enhance the focus effect of FaceTime / video call / live broadcast. — Ming-Chi Kuo (@mingchikuo) April 19, 2022
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max around September as usual. For more rumors about these devices, including other features to expect, read our iPhone 14 roundup.
