Based on CAD renderings, dimensions, schematics, pictures of accessory production molds, and other information, he brings a visual comparison of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro. On the other hand, the radius of the iPhone 14 Pro Max seems to be almost the same as the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Apple may have been forced to change the corner radius of the iPhone 14 Pro due to changes to the rear camera array. The iPhone 14 Pro models are expected to feature a larger rear camera array to facilitate the adoption of a new 48-megapixel camera system with a 57% increase in sensor size.

The rear camera arrays of the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max roughly match the bezel corner radius of each device, but when Apple increased the size of the camera array with the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, the corners of both devices Does not match. While the differences between the camera arrays of the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro Max are small, the differences between the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro are huge.

With the size increase again this year, the incongruity between the curves of the camera platform, lens and the corners of the stainless steel frame itself became too severe on the iPhone 14 Pro, causing Apple to revise the design. The new, larger corner radius still doesn’t quite match the rounded corners of the rear camera array platform, but it’s significantly closer, Zelbo said.
