Apple iPhone 18 Pro Features Variable Camera Aperture and New Chip

CUPERTINO, Calif. – Apple has unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro, bringing performance and camera technology upgrades. The new model is powered by the A20 Pro chip, manufactured on a 2-nanometer process.

The A20 Pro features a 6-core CPU, with two performance cores reportedly 20 percent faster, alongside four efficiency cores. A 7-core GPU is said to offer up to 40 percent improved performance and increased bandwidth.

A key camera upgrade is the introduction of a variable aperture, giving users more direct control over image depth of field, a shift from the heavy reliance on computational photography in previous models.

Additionally, the A20 Pro includes a new Neural Engine, Apple's machine learning processor. The company states this integrated unit functions akin to two separate Neural Engines, boosting AI and machine learning tasks.
