iPhone 18 Pro adds f/1.48 variable-aperture 48MP main camera

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro equips a 48-megapixel main camera with a moving aperture opening to f/1.48, up from f/1.8, with selectable stops at f/1.8, f/2.8 and f/4. The native camera app adds manual exposure controls. The Verge's September 16 review identifies the system as the phone's biggest new feature.
