iPhone 18 Pro camera gains variable aperture, matching rivals

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The iPhone 18 Pro introduces a significant camera upgrade with a physical variable aperture, allowing for greater control over light intake and depth of field. This feature enables better low-light photography and more pronounced subject-background separation, with the aperture adjustable from f/1.48. While a notable advancement for the iPhone, variable aperture technology has previously appeared in devices from Samsung and Huawei, with the Xiaomi 14 Ultra featuring a range from f/1.63 to f/4.0.
