iPhone 15 photos default to 24MP, but what about the iPhone 14 Pro?

Every iPhone 15 model features a 48 -megapixel camera — even the cheapest $ 799 model.

The iPhone 15 models have nearly identical cameras to the iPhone 14 Pro.

The base iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models also have the same camera specs.

Apple doesn’t explain why it’s moving to 24- megapixel photos on all of the iPhone 15s models.

But there’s no 24 -megapixel ProRAW format here that could be just as good as the iPhone 15 ’s new 24 -megapixel default. With that in mind, I’m not even sure that I need my iPhone 14 Pro to default to 24 -megapixel photos for most photos. That said, I can’t help but mind that the best 2022 iPhone hardware is not good enough to get the same Goldilocks moment’ treatment for basic photography as the best 2022 iPhone hardware that Apple repackaged under the iPhone 15 /Plus models..
