Apple iPhone 14 is expected to miss THIS major camera specs which you may get to see only in next year’s iPhone 15.

The rumours and leaks for the upcoming iPhone 14 series are everywhere and there is one big news that has come now. After the successful launch of the affordable iPhone SE 3, all eyes are on the upcoming Apple iPhone 14! Actually, for all intents and purposes, the specs of the iPhone 14 are almost finalised. All the leaks and rumours hint that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max would feature an A15 chip, whereas the iPhone 14 Pro is expected to be powered by the next A16 Bionic chipset. We may expect an all-new pill-shaped hole-punch cutout along with the punch-hole beside it in ‘Pro' models of iPhone 14. Even as the iPhone 14 has been hyped up a lot as a game-changer phone, there is one thing that it might skip and it will land only on the next year's iPhone 15.

Before you get overwhelmed with the iPhone 14 expected upgrades, let us tell you the major missing part of iPhone 14 that you might get in next year's iPhone flagship.. When there seems to be a lot of changes in the iPhone 14 series, there is a camera department that might not leave you too excited. Believing the leaks and rumours, the camera department of the iPhone 14 may not feature any major upgrades as it is expected to carry the current 12MP camera sensors. Though, the iPhone 14 Pro models may get an upgrade in terms of a 48MP primary sensor. But it is the much awaited 'telephoto camera' which is expected to be featured in iPhone 15, not the iPhone 14.

Wait for another year...

According to the latest report by TheElec, a big OIS and autofocus actuators supplier in South Korea, Jahwa Electronics has secured a deal with Apple. It mentioned that Apple visited Jahwa last year, which believes that the OIS modules maker is spending more than $155 million working on a new manufacturing facility. And considering the size of the investment, it is believed that the new manufacturing facility is likely for producing telephoto cameras.

Earlier, it was reported that the production phase of iPhone 14 has already started, which means the final design has already been validated and there are unlikely to be any last-minute changes effected on this phone, barring any emergency.

However. do remember that these are all expectations based on the recent leaks and rumours, we still need to wait for confirmation from the company itself. And that will only come with the launch itself.
