The iPhone SE 4 is expected to have a single 48MP main lens, which is a step up in resolution[3][6]. The iPhone 14 has a dual-camera system with 12MP main and ultrawide lenses[3][6].
iPhone SE 4:
* Rumors suggest that the iPhone SE 4 may come with features like Night Mode[6].
* The integration of a 48-megapixel sensor in the SE4 could offer better detail, improved dynamic range, and crisper images[3].
* The A18 Bionic chip may further enhance battery performance, coupled with Apple's intelligent power management systems[3].
iPhone 14:
* The iPhone 14 is known for its exceptional performance in low-light conditions[3].
* The iPhone 14 Pro's main camera has a bigger sensor that improves shooting at nighttime or in dim conditions[5]. It preserves more shadow detail and color than the iPhone 13 Pro, with better dynamic range[5].
* When shooting in low-light conditions, the iPhone 14 Pro automatically trades the super high resolution for much better image fidelity by stepping down from 48MP to 12MP, which effectively increases the pixel size, keeping the image grain smoother and the detail sharper[8].
* Low light shots are far more usable on the iPhone 14 Pro, with less smudging apparent[2]. The TrueDepth sensor also retains incredibly precise depth data[2].
