Apple has Announced the realise of the new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max which features a 48MP Main camera.

Additional pro camera system upgrades and features include:

• A new 12MP Ultra Wide camera with 1.4 µm pixels, which delivers sharper images with more detail, improving already powerful macro photography capabilities.

• An improved Telephoto camera that offers 3x optical zoom.

• A new front TrueDepth camera with an ƒ/1.9 aperture that enables better low-light performance for photos and video. Using autofocus for the first time, it can focus even faster in low light and capture group shots from farther away.

• A new Adaptive True Tone flash that has been completely redesigned with an array of nine LEDs that change pattern based on the chosen focal length.

• Powerful computational photography benefits like Night mode, Smart HDR 4, Portrait mode with Portrait Lighting, Night mode Portrait photos, Photographic Styles to personalize the look of every photo, and Apple ProRAW.

• A new Action mode for incredibly smooth-looking video that adjusts to significant shakes, motion, and vibrations, even when video is being captured in the middle of the action.

• Cinematic mode, now available in 4K at 30 fps and 4K at 24 fps.

• Pro-level workflows for video, including ProRes³ and end-to-end Dolby Vision HDR.
