AI summary

9to5Mac noted that upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models could see a thicker camera bump due to a new 48MP main sensor featuring variable aperture technology.

Why this matters

A larger camera bump often signals major hardware jumps, such as variable aperture, which would give mobile photographers much more control over depth and lighting.

Confidence reason

The report cites multiple consistent leaks from Weibo sources and physical dummy model measurements.
