At Apple's recent "Surprise and Shine" event, the tech giant announced that both iPhone 18 Pro models will feature a groundbreaking variable aperture camera system. Rumors circulating prior to the event suggested the variable aperture lens would only be available on the Pro Max model, but Apple confirmed both high-end iPhones will benefit from this advanced technology.
The company revealed the camera system utilizes six laser-cut blades, each thinner than a human hair. These blades are crafted from a specialized polymer composite that strikes a balance between flexibility and durability. Crucially, the aperture lens adjusts automatically based on the environment. In low-light conditions, the aperture opens to admit up to 50% more light, enhancing the camera's performance in dim settings.
Beyond improved low-light capabilities, the variable aperture camera also introduces new creative features. After capturing a video, users can apply cinematic mode effects directly, thanks to the aperture's versatility. Furthermore, the iPhone 18 Pro supports 60 frames per second at half-speed, offering a unique visual experience. Apple emphasized that this is the most advanced camera they have ever produced. More details regarding the camera's capabilities are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
