A leaked specifications sheet suggests Apple's iPhone 18 Pro, expected to launch next month, will carry a faster A20 Pro chip, a variable-aperture camera and possible battery improvements over the iPhone 17 Pro. The report compares the leaked specs against the current Pro model, though Apple has not confirmed the launch date or final specifications.

What It Means For You
- If you are planning your next phone purchase, waiting for next month's launch could get you a faster chip and improved camera hardware.
- Current iPhone 17 Pro owners can use this comparison to judge whether the rumoured upgrades justify switching models this cycle.
- Photography enthusiasts should watch for confirmation on the variable-aperture camera, a feature few smartphones have successfully shipped so far.
What's Happening
- The leaked specs point to a new A20 Pro chip powering the iPhone 18 Pro, succeeding the current A19 Pro chip.
- A variable-aperture camera is rumoured, a feature that would let the phone adjust light intake more like a dedicated camera.
- The report says Apple is expected to launch the device next month, though the company has made no official announcement.
Why Variable Aperture Is a Big Claim
- Most smartphone cameras simulate depth of field through software rather than a physical adjustable iris, making true variable aperture rare in the segment.
- Samsung briefly tried a mechanical variable aperture on the 2018 Galaxy S9 before dropping the feature in later models.
- Specification leaks ahead of Apple's autumn launch events are common, though final retail specifications sometimes differ from early leaks.
