• The iPhone 18 series will get a variable aperture main camera, according to a trusted analyst.
• This feature first debuted on Samsung smartphones and is currently found on devices from HUAWEI, HONOR, Xiaomi, and more.
• This would enable more realistic portrait-style shots, brighter images, and more.

The iPhone 16 series has only been out for just under two months, but there’s been no shortage of iPhone 17 series rumors. If that’s not enough, a trusted source has now revealed a major iPhone 18 series detail.

Noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has reported (spotted via Jukanlosreve on X) that the “high-end” iPhone 18 will get a variable aperture main camera. The analyst says this feature, which is seen on several Android camera phones, will “significantly” enhance the photography experience. The feature was initially rumored to appear on the iPhone 17 range, but it looks like it’ll now debut one year later.
