iPhone 14 Pro Camera Samples
- Photograph: Julian Chokkattu01iPhone 14 Pro, Portrait mode. There's good subject detection here and the blur effect has been successfully applied throughout the background.
- Photograph: Julian Chokkattu02iPhone 14 Pro, Portrait mode. Here's another portrait mode shot. I like the new foreground blur effect, which adds a blur to any items in the foreground of the photo (in addition to the background).

iPhone 14 Pro, main camera. This shot captures the scene well. The audience is reasonably sharp, and it's not too visibly noisy.
- Photograph: Julian Chokkattu04iPhone 14 Pro, telephoto camera. The marquee's colors are a bit muted here, but otherwise, this shot is sharp and well-exposed, if grainy.
- Photograph: Julian Chokkattu05iPhone 14 Pro Max, Portrait mode. This scene is tough because the window is backlighting my dog's face, yet the iPhone does a great job exposing him. You can see some grain throughout the photo, but my pup is tack sharp.
- Photograph: Julian Chokkattu06iPhone 14 Pro, main camera (12 megapixels). Compare this with the 48-megapixel version (next). By default, the iPhone 14 Pro uses a process called pixel binning on the primary camera to merge pixels so that they absorb more light, producing a 12-megapixel image that's brighter, and not as high resolution (also means normal file sizes). It's not *as* detailed and is a little brighter overall.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu07iPhone 14 Pro, 48-MP ProRAW. This image has a lot more detail to offer and doesn't look as *processed* as the 12-MP version. Since it's a RAW image, you have greater flexibility to control the brightness, contrast, shadows, and saturation when you edit it. But you have to manually tap the RAW button in the camera app to access the full 48-MP mode (be prepared for the slightly larger file sizes).- Photograph: Julian Chokkattu08iPhone 14 Pro, ultrawide camera. Apple says the ultrawide camera has improved in the latest model, with a larger sensor and improved low-light capabilities. But too often, it was hard to tell the difference when compared with the iPhone 13 Pro. In fact, if you compare this image closely with the following one, you'll notice that this one is a smidge blurrier.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu09iPhone 13 Pro Max, ultrawide camera. This photo is a tiny bit sharper than the iPhone 14 Pro ultrawide image. I also generally like the colors a tiny bit more here.- Photograph: Julian Chokkattu10iPhone 14 Pro, main camera. During the daytime, the iPhone hardly misses a beat. It's well-exposed, the colors are nice, and it's pretty sharp. Compare this with the following Google Pixel image.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu11Google Pixel 6 Pro, main camera. The Pixel photo is nearly identical in every way to the iPhone's shot, except it's a teeny bit sharper if you look very closely at some of the text. - Photograph: Julian Chokkattu12iPhone 14 Pro, main camera. Apple's new Photonic Engine doesn't work in Night mode but in mid- to low-light scenes like this. Apple originally applied its Deep Fusion image processing technique (where it took several photos and merged the best parts) to the compressed images right after capture, but now, the Photonic Engine does this process on uncompressed images, which Apple says should result in brighter, sharper images with nicer colors. In my testing, the improvements seem to be minuscule. I like the colors here, and the scene is relatively sharp.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu13Google Pixel 6 Pro, main camera. The iPhone captures a bit more warmth from the sun, adding a bit more yellow into the clouds, which I like, but the Google image is slightly sharper across the board. The dock is also a little brighter overall. - Photograph: Julian Chokkattu14iPhone 14 Pro, telephoto camera. This is taken with the 3x optical zoom, but you do now have a 2x zoom option that takes pretty clear photos thanks to the 48-MP sensor. This image is sharp, but compare it with the following one.
