Rumors claim Apple is testing a DSLR-like teleconverter to boost the iPhone 18 Pro’s zoom, alongside a prototype variable aperture lens; while this could enhance focal length and light control, concerns about light loss and the reliability of the tipster persist, and thorough testing is expected before any launch.
A Chinese rumor claims the iPhone 18 Pro may include a variable-aperture rear camera and a teleconverter in late-stage engineering samples, with a September 2026 launch anticipated. The teleconverter concept would affect light intake on a smartphone, while the variable aperture could improve exposure control for photos and video. Apple is reportedly evaluating features with suppliers, but such components could still be dropped if they don’t meet quality standards. Previous rumors of a variable aperture for the iPhone 17 did not materialize.
