Apple begins producing variable-aperture parts for iPhone 18 Pro
Apple\'s supply chain has begun preparing to introduce new camera features for its next iPhone. Chinese optical parts maker Sunny Optical has started producing actuators for variable-aperture lenses expected to be used in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models, a key device that controls aperture blades to adjust light and depth of field. The start of production suggests preparations for mass production are under way, though some caution that sensor-size limits will constrain gains.
