iPhone photography and iOS 18 features

New guides and hardware options are available to enhance iPhone photography and videography. For users seeking professional optical results, external lens attachments from brands like Moment and Sandmarc are recommended to achieve macro, wide-angle, and anamorphic effects that software algorithms cannot fully replicate.

On the software side, iOS 18 introduces new privacy features, such as the ability to hide sensitive apps and lock them with Face ID. Additionally, users can achieve more natural skin tones in portraits by adjusting specific camera settings, such as disabling HDR and Deep Fusion, adjusting exposure to -0.7, and utilizing specific photo styles to avoid the overly smooth appearance often caused by automatic beauty algorithms.
