This might be iPhone 18 Pro’s best camera feature for most users
iPhone 18 Pro packs lots of camera upgrades ( great rundown here ), with the tentpole addition being variable aperture. But there’s one other Main camera change that users like me might deem their favorite. more…
One of the standout camera upgrades in the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro may be its variable aperture, but one less obvious feature may prove highly appealing to many casual users, according to The Verge's Antonio G. Di Benedetto. The new maximum aperture of f/1.48 on iPhone 18 Pro is likely to deliver better low-light performance and shallower depth of field compared to the previous f/1.7 aperture in Pro models.
While this improvement may not be as dramatic as the jump from f/1.2 on full-frame cameras, it's still a significant step up from previous iPhones, and should appeal to those who value the "dreamy" bokeh effect in their portraits. For those who primarily use their iPhones for casual photography, this enhanced aperture could be the camera feature that truly stands out.
