Apple's iPhone 18 Pro series features variable aperture cameras and improved thermal management

The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max introduce a variable aperture main camera, allowing users to manually adjust between f/1.48 and f/4.0. This hardware change enables greater control over depth of field and improves low-light performance by allowing more light intake. Both models are powered by the A20 Pro chip, which is paired with a vapor chamber three times larger than the previous generation to sustain performance during intensive tasks like high-end gaming and video recording. The devices also feature a more efficient C2 modem for improved cellular connectivity and support for MM-wave 5G in the United States. The Dynamic Island has been reduced by 25% in size, and the smaller 18 Pro now offers battery life comparable to the previous generation's Pro Max model. Despite these upgrades, both phones are heavier than their predecessors, with the 18 Pro Max weighing 249 grams. Storage options now include a 2TB capacity for the standard Pro model, and the devices are available in four colors: burgundy, glacier, silver, and black.
