Apple has begun to leverage its supply chain in order to increase the number of next-generation iPhones with variable aperture cameras, according to the latest rumors.
The resulting device, expected to launch as the 18 Pro and/or Pro Max, could offer greater control over factors such as depth of field, although it will only catch up to existing devices such than Honor’s Magic7 RSR when upgraded.
The “18 Pro series” could also feature an advanced telephoto lens. According to the typically reliable leaker Digital Chat Station, the choice will come down to technology.
The module could be of a particularly advanced type or“multiple” of periscope zoom as opposed to the new “all on prism” lens (or ALoP) currently linked to the supposed future Galaxy S25 Slim.
As a result, Apple’s 2026 iPhones could feature substantial improvements over the current iPhone 16 Pro series (currently available for $1,024.97 in renewed condition on Amazon), while remaining less sophisticated than Apple’s 2026 iPhones. a previous generation Samsung smartphone.
The Cupertino giant could begin developing its first generation of variable aperture iPhone at the same time as its supposed first foldable iPhone and its compact Dynamic Island compact.
