iPhone 18 Pro to lead Apple's four-phase camera upgrade strategy

Apple is reportedly planning a multi-stage camera overhaul for future iPhones.

The first step could be a variable-aperture main camera on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.

Later upgrades may include a larger main sensor, better ultra-wide stabilization, and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens.

The variable aperture would give Apple more control over exposure and depth of field, boosting mobile photography.
