MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to exclusively feature a new variable aperture camera, a first for any iPhone, according to Chinese leaker Ice Universe.
- This feature, supported by a Sony IMX905 sensor, will allow users greater control over depth of field, potentially enabling sharper focus or smoother background blur.
- The smaller iPhone 18 Pro model may not include the variable aperture lens, marking a new differentiation between the Pro and Pro Max models beyond size and battery life.
- The iPhone 18 Pro Max is rumored to be larger and heavier than previous models, and both Pro variants are expected to launch next month alongside Apple's first foldable iPhone, the "iPhone Ultra."
- Apple has never before implemented a variable aperture in its iPhone cameras, which have traditionally used a fixed ƒ/1.78 aperture since the iPhone 14 Pro.
