New proof for the iPhone 18 Pro having a variable aperture camera surfaces | Infinium-tech
Indian Apple partner Tata Electronics was hacked by a ransomware group last month, and it resulted in the leak of several internal company files, which some have been digging into since. Now a diagnostics log has been found in the files, and it confirms the much-publicized fact that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a main camera with variable aperture.
The log also confirms that Apple is using a new sensor for the main camera of the above devices, namely Sony’s IMX905. Its pixel size remains the same as its predecessor at 1.22μm, which suggests that it may actually be identical to the main camera sensor of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, except with variable aperture.
The telephoto camera remains unchanged from the previous generation Pro iPhones, as do the ultrawide, LiDAR receiver and selfie camera.
Due to the ongoing memory chip shortage and subsequent increase in component costs, both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to see a price increase, perhaps as much as $200 compared to their predecessors. These devices will be unveiled alongside the iPhone Ultra in September.
