  "summary": "The iPhone 18 Pro features a variable aperture camera, a rare feature on smartphones. According to Android Authority, several Android phones have offered this feature in the past, but it is not currently available on major brands in the US and Europe.\n\nThe iPhone 18 Pro's camera has a 48MP main sensor with a variable aperture of f/1.48-f/4, as reported by Digital Camera World. The phone also has a 48MP telephoto camera and a 48MP ultrawide camera.\n\nThe variable aperture camera on the iPhone 18 Pro is seen as a desirable feature that Android phones could learn from, with Android Authority suggesting that it presents an opportunity for Apple to gain an advantage in the market.",
