Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tweets that the front camera of four new iPhone 14 models in the second half of the year are likely upgrade to AF (autofocus) and about f/1.9 aperture. This compares to the iPhone 13’s FF (fixed-focus) and f/2.2.
“AF support and a lower f-number can provide a better shallow depth-of-field effect for selfie/portrait mode,” he says. “In addition, AF can also enhance the focus effect for FaceTime/video call/live streaming.”
