For 2026, Apple has one big trick up its sleeve for the iPhone 18 Pro’s camera system. The current generation iPhone 17 Pro is already known to have one of the most advanced mobile camera systems, setting a new benchmark for photography and videography in the world of mobile phones. However, the iPhone 18 Pro generation is now said to include an advanced camera hardware feature that could change the way you take photographs.
According to a recent supply chain report from Korea’s ETNews, both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to feature an advanced variable aperture lens for the main camera, a technology that allows the phone to physically adjust the amount of light entering the sensor.
