The iPhone 14 camera already sounds sensational – but at what cost?

We've already heard a ton of rumours about the iPhone 14 camera, including that fact that it might pack the most detailed camera ever, at a whopping 48MP. And now, we might know how Apple is going to achieve it – by thinking big. Very big.

New reports suggest the iPhone 14 Pro's wide camera sensor will be 21 per cent larger than that of the iPhone 13 Pro. And – get this – it could be an enormous 57 per cent overall. With the 13 Pro's camera cutout already massive, it looks like those meme mockups depicting an iPhone rear that's all camera could finally become a reality. (Don't fancy waiting?
