The iPhone 14 is said to be upgraded with a 48-megapixel camera and 8GB of RAM, specs that will challenge the best Android phones.

This is according to a research note from Haitong International Securities (via MacRumors), where analyst Jeff Pu says that both the rumored iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature a 48MP wide-angle camera plus This is in addition to the 48MP wide-angle camera currently featured on the iPhone 13 Pro. This would be a big step up from the 12MP main lens currently found on the iPhone 13 Pro.

This is not the first time this news has come to light; Ming-Chi Kuo made similar claims about a 48MP camera in April; Kuo claimed that there would be two different sizes of the iPhone 14, a 6.1-inch and a 6.7-inch, and we later learned that this could be the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and we were told that both would include a 'Max' version of the phone. That's right, the iPhone 14 mini may not make an appearance.

Pu also predicts that the iPhone 14 Pro model will have 8GB of RAM. However, Apple's approach to efficiency and tight control of both hardware and software meant that its iPhones have been able to match or beat flagship Android phones even with less on-board RAM. Therefore, adding 2GB of RAM would allow even more, making the iPhone a performance powerhouse.

In addition to this, Pu also claims that all four iPhone 14 models will offer a 120Hz refresh rate, which is currently limited to the iPhone 13 Pro model.

Pu has a mixed track record when it comes to Apple. So while some of his predictions sound reasonable, we will have to be patient and wait and see what Apple has in store for us. In the meantime, check out our iPhone 14 hub for the latest news and leaks.
