Apple is expected to introduce a significant upgrade to its iPhone camera technology with the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro. According to renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 18 Pro will feature a variable aperture main camera, a major step forward for the brand as it catches up to Android’s innovative camera technologies.
Current Android devices from different companies like Samsung and Huawei have introduced the variable aperture cameras, but Apple has been a silent observer. Every iPhone in circulation, ranging from iPhone 15 to the latest iPhone 16, has static aperture cameras and hence cannot allow users to set the amount of light to be captured or depth for capturing objects.
However, variable aperture integration is likely to launch with iPhone 17 next year, which is still unnamed. This opens the path for the iPhone 18 Pro, which will bring the introduction of the innovation in the photographic model to Apple gadgets. Kuo suggests that Apple’s collaboration with suppliers such as Sunny Optical, Luxshare, and Largan Precision will help deliver this advanced camera feature.
A variable aperture is beneficial in use because it determines the amount of light that is allowed in by the lens depending on the prevailing conditions. This feature also offers greater flexibility in controlling depth of field, which can improve portrait and macro photography. For iPhone users, it can mean an improvement in general quality of images, especially that of low-light photography. With Android competition already ahead in this area, Apple’s decision to include variable aperture technology marks a significant shift in its approach to camera hardware. As the iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 Pro bring these features to Apple’s flagship devices, smartphone enthusiasts can look forward to even more powerful photography tools in future releases.
