The iPhone 18 Pro is finally here, and while it might not seem as exciting as the new iPhone Duo, there's plenty to try out once you take it out of the box. This year, Apple is providing even more control in the Camera app. The camera's main lens with a variable aperture opens up new possibilities for photography, as do the new Photographic Styles. Not only that, but the Dynamic Island is smaller and charging your iPhone is much faster.
The 48-megapixel main camera is the first on an iPhone to feature variable aperture. The lens has six blades that physically open and close. You get four settings: f/1.48, f/1.8, f/2.8 and f/4. At f/1.48, the sensor lets in more light and blurs the background more. Switch to f/4 to reduce the aperture; everyone in the photo will look sharper.
Apple has also added manual controls for shutter speed, focus, and white balance. You can customize the Camera app for easier access to your favorite controls. For those with an iPhone 18 Pro, there are two new Photographic Styles controls: grain and texture. You can soften skin tones or apply a film effect.
One of the coolest features is the Dynamic Island. On the iPhone 18 Pro, Apple has made the Dynamic Island smaller, so you'll see more of the screen.
