iPhone 14 set for major camera upgrades

August 30, 2022

The low-light performance of the iPhone 13's primary camera is already very good.

The camera uses Night mode to capture details and brighten shots in situations with low light.

Oftentimes when I use it, it literally turns night into day.

Stuff I can't see is revealed in Night mode photos. Shots of the nighttime sky, for instance, reveal stars that I can't see with my naked eye.

The upcoming iPhone 14 is rumored to have even better low-light cameras.

According to the latest rumor -- which comes from an oft-reliable source -- the primary camera is getting a huge upgrade in its sensor. It's not the only camera getting an upgrade. We have all the details.

A bigger sensor is good for low-light photos, but may not be so good for your wallet.

There's always a catch.
