Apple is reportedly working on its iPhone 18 series, expected to be launched later this year, is said to be the first to offer primary rear cameras with variable aperture. This feature would improve the performance of the iPhone cameras in low-light situations.
As per a report from ETNews, Apple iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are likely to be launched, featuring the latest variable-aperture rear camera system.

Meanwhile, according to Macworld, the headline colour this year will be 'Dark Cherry', a dark red that will supersede the cosmic orange colour from the iPhone 17 Pro.
