iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are rumoured to come with a variable aperture lens for their primary camera. The technology enables the camera to physically adjust how much light reaches the sensor to improve the image quality in different lighting conditions. As per reports, Samsung first explored a mechanical aperture feature with the Galaxy S9 in 2018 and continued using it on the Galaxy S10 series. Samsung discontinued the use of variable aperture in 2020 because it added camera thickness and raised production costs. Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Launch Timeline Tipped, Likely To Release Soon; Check Expected Price and Specifications.
