iPhone 18 Pro Could Improve Night Video With Variable Aperture

The iPhone 18 Pro might get a camera part called a variable aperture.

This part can make the lens opening bigger or smaller.

A bigger opening lets in more light when a scene is dark.

That could make night videos look clearer and less grainy.

It may also help moving subjects look more natural in videos.

In bright sunlight, the opening could become smaller to control the light.

The camera might also create more natural-looking blurry backgrounds.

Reports say the phone could get a similar improvement for its zoom camera, but Apple has not confirmed these details.
