Getting inside an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max is a delicate process, so one can imagine how Twitter user lipilipsi felt when disassembling the camera module, which uses a ribbon cable to connect to the logic board, which if you’re not careful, can be lost without any Broken without warning. In addition to the teardown, a video on Twitter shows the person de-soldering the metal housing of the 48-megapixel main camera with a soldering iron, just to show viewers what the main sensor looks like.
By watching the video, one would think the person doing the teardown has done it many times, since anyone doing a teardown for the first time would have a hard time getting to the camera of the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max. After the sensor was finally removed, it was compared to the iPhone 13 Pro’s camera, and the difference in size was huge. A larger surface area will allow more light to pass through, capturing more detail.
The larger sensor area on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max cameras should also help when shooting in low light. The person comparing the size differences between the two devices didn’t provide any metrics, but from that perspective, we’d consider the 48-megapixel camera to be around 60 percent larger than the sensor present in last year’s model. The difference also means that Apple will have little choice but to include a larger camera bump, and we’ll likely see the same change when the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max arrive next year.
