Mastering the iPhone 18 Pro’s Aperture: Enhancing Your Photography with These Camera Apps

The iPhone 18 Pro’s new main camera with a variable aperture has some limitations that users should be aware of. In the native iOS camera app’s manual mode, you are only able to choose from four aperture settings: f/1.48, f/1.8, f/2.8, and f/4. However, these restrictions can be bypassed by using third-party camera apps that offer more control over the aperture.

Recently, Moment announced that its Moment Pro Camera II app now supports the variable aperture feature of the iPhone 18 Pro. With this update, users can adjust the aperture from f/1.48 to f/4.0 in 1/3 stop increments, providing more flexibility and control over their photography. While the difference in background blur and focus depth may be subtle due to the small sensor size of the iPhone 18 Pro, having more options for aperture settings can enhance the overall photography experience.
