Apple unveils iPhone 18 Pro with variable aperture camera and smaller Dynamic Island

Apple has released the iPhone 18 Pro, featuring a new camera system with a variable aperture on its main 48-megapixel lens. This allows users to control light intake and depth of field with four distinct settings, similar to DSLR cameras. The device also introduces enhanced manual controls within the Camera app for shutter speed, focus, and white balance, alongside new grain and texture adjustments for Photographic Styles. Additionally, the Dynamic Island has been made smaller and can now display up to three Live Activities simultaneously. AI
