TL;DR Apple is adding new pro camera controls to the iPhone 18 Pro models, including shutter speed, white balance, aperture, and histogram. The new 48MP main camera has a physical variable aperture with four manual settings from f/1.48 to f/4. Similar pro camera controls have been available on Android for a long time, and Samsung offered physical aperture adjustment back in 2018. The iPhone has long been one of the best phones for point-and-shoot photography, but Apple doesn’t give keen photographers the same freedom as some Android competitors. That looks set to change with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, which finally offer a much more comprehensive set of manual camera controls. Apple today announced two phones, showing off the Pro’s new customizable control interface in the Camera app. It allows you to manually adjust settings including shutter speed, white balance and lens aperture, and the histogram can be used to check exposure levels across the entire scene.
