Leaks have revealed that versions of the iPhone 18 Pro, currently undergoing testing and expected to be released in September, boast a variable aperture for the first time in the iPhone's nearly two-decade history.
A manually adjustable aperture is seen as a significant step toward making a camera more professional, allowing control of the amount of light that gets to the sensor and artistic changes through the manipulation of the depth of field (how much elements of the picture other than the main subject appear out of focus).
