Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro has variable aperture, and no Siri AI in Europe

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max launch with a 48-MP camera that can automatically or manually adjust its aperture from ƒ/1.48 to higher values, supported by a new rotor mechanism and API for third-party apps. The phones cost $1,199 and $1,299, but EU buyers miss Siri AI and Apple Reference Image features at launch, while the A20 Pro chip delivers 40% faster GPU and doubled AI core count.
