Apple $AAPL introduced the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, highlighting variable aperture as a first for the device: six laser-cut blades allow the 48MP Main camera to adjust depth of field and light, supported by Pro controls for manual shutter speed, white balance, and aperture. Both models receive the A20 Pro chip with a next-generation vapor chamber for improved sustained performance, while a larger Dynamic Island displays three Live Activities; the Pro Max achieves the greatest battery life increase in iPhone history. Four finishes, including a new burgundy, begin at 1,199, with preorders starting on 12 September.
