Developer @inside says the first thing he did with his iPhone 18 Pro was write an app that lets him control the variable aperture from his Mac, so he could record the aperture blades physically moving under a microscope.
The stunt confirms the iPhone 18 Pro's variable physical aperture in action and shows that undocumented hardware controls can be unlocked with a custom app. Shared by Scobleizer.
