Step aside, iPhone 17 - the iPhone 18 might have a massive camera upgrade

Rumor has it the iPhone 18 will come with a variable aperture on the main camera

If you’re a serious photographer, having an aperture you can change not only means letting in less light to pull more detail out of bright scenes, but also adjusting the depth of field to keep things blurred or focused in the background. Traditionally, smartphones have gotten around these limitations using software features like portrait mode and exposure controls, but using physical hardware is always better for higher-quality images. Kuo says Apple will include the feature on the “high-end” iPhone 18s which will give professional photographers and enthusiasts alike greater control over their photos.
