Apple tests external camera add-on idea for iPhone 18 Pro models
Apple is reportedly considering a teleconverter-style camera accessory for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, according to a rumor from Chinese social network Weibo. Similar add-ons are already common on high-end phones from Chinese brands Oppo and vivo, where they extend or tweak the zoom capabilities of the main camera.
The report says Apple is only evaluating the concept at this stage, with no decision yet to produce or ship such an accessory. Even so, the fact that the company is looking at a feature already in use by rivals is notable, given Apple’s usual pattern of moving slowly on new hardware trends.
