The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max debuted, for the first time, a 48-megapixel camera sensor with Pixel Binning technology, which makes better use of per-pixel lighting. This is 65% larger than last year, with OIS built into the sensor.
This 4 pixels-in-1 combination (captured at 12 megapixels) is something familiar in its Android rival, though Apple relies on its ISP – the key to placing exact color in a photograph – to give it more sense. Plus, these iPhones capture double the brightness on all sensors, in low light conditions).
