Briefings

A test was conducted to compare the depth of field of the iPhone 18 Pro's variable aperture camera against its predecessors. The evidence indicates the aperture opens wider than before, but the difference is less than one stop. This small change was tested on a small sensor to determine real-world impact on portrait photography.

Key points

• The iPhone 18 Pro's main camera aperture opens wider than previous models, enabling a shallower depth of field for portraits.
• The actual difference in aperture size is less than one stop, making the real-life impact on small sensors uncertain.

Context and limitations

The test was conducted on a small sensor, and the evidence does not specify the exact sensor model or the specific camera sensor used for the comparison.
