TL;DR Summary

A leaked diagnostics log confirms the iPhone 18 Pro Max will use a new main camera sensor (Sony IMX905) with variable aperture, replacing the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s sensor. Pixel size remains 1.22μm, and other cameras (telephoto, ultrawide, LiDAR receiver, and selfie) stay the same, with the aperture mechanism data read from the sensor’s non-volatile memory indicating a first-for-iPhone variable aperture feature that rivals already-offered phone technologies.
