Apple’s Pro models consistently elevate mobile photography to the next level. Expect the same from Apple this time around. According to reports, the company is working on two major upgrades for the cameras of its upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models. These upgrades will make the iPhone’s cameras rival professional DSLRs. Let’s find out what upgrades will be available in the iPhone 18 Pro’s camera and when these models will be launched.
Work is underway on these upgrades.
Reports of a variable aperture in the iPhone 18 Pro have been surfacing for quite some time. Variable aperture allows the camera to control the amount of light reaching the sensor. Therefore, if a photo is being taken in darkness, the aperture can be opened wider, allowing more light to reach the sensor, resulting in a brighter photo. In areas with high light, the aperture can be closed to reduce overexposure. This also provides control over depth of field. This feature is expected to be available on both the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. No other iPhone model has had this feature before.
This is the second major upgrade
A recent report claims that Apple is testing a telephoto camera with a larger aperture for the iPhone 18 Pro models. The iPhone 17 models featured a telephoto camera with an ƒ/2.8 aperture. While the camera was upgraded to a 48MP sensor, the aperture size remained the same as the previous generation. Now, the iPhone 18 Pro models can feature a larger aperture. This will improve the camera’s light gathering, shutter speed, background separation, and noise performance. Overall, both features will result in better photos.
When will the iPhone 18 Pro models be launched?
As usual, Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro models in September this year. The first foldable iPhone and the iPhone Air 2 could also be launched alongside them. The standard variants of the iPhone 18 series will be launched in February-March next year.
