In the latest edition of his “Power On” newsletter for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman stated that the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will feature bigger batteries which will make them appear “slightly larger overall,” and they will also have slimmer bezels.

Gurman then touched on the rear-camera system of the iPhone 14 Pro saying “there’s also a significantly larger camera area on the back of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max for the new 48-megapixel wide-angle system and improved telephoto and ultrawide-angle sensors.” He also expects improvements to low light photography and video recording.
