The iPhone 18 Pro Max is likely less than a couple of months from being unveiled, but we just got a big clue to its headline camera feature. The rumors of variable aperture coming to the iPhone have been circulating for a while, but as a result of the recent Tata Electronics leak, it seems like a lock.
The team at Notebookcheck found an internal diagnostic log buried inside the files from the Tata leak, and it points to calibration data for a variable aperture main camera. Before we go any further, Apple hasn't officially commented on any of this.
