The iPhone 14 has a fantastic camera. It's a noticeable improvement from previous models and takes fantastic photos that rival or surpass many SLR cameras on the market. If Apple had taken another leap and included usb-c port it would have been enough for me to upgrade. For now, I wait.

The 48 MP bayer mode is indeed impressive, but it does not increase the spatial frequency response. I recently used it to document some color transition errors on LG OLED displays and even with the 48 MP "RAW" mode there are artifacts from the limited spatial resolution. One of the images properly captures the display sub-pixel layout, but that is taken closer to the display. Enabling/disabling "RAW" did not change the spatial resolution of the photos.

Every iPhone release since the 11 I've been waiting for them to add support for Wifi 6E. So far not yet...

Phones don't rival or surpass DSLRs or any proper digital camera.

They just have lots of fancy processing that makes quick snaps look better than the same amount of effort on a camera.

To be clear, it's the iPhone 14 Pro models that have the 48MP camera (with telephoto) described in the article. The non-Pro iPhone 14 camera is said to be improved somewhat over the iPhone 13 (slightly faster lens, software magic, etc), but it is not the high-end system in the iPhone 14 Pro.
