New Texture and Grain Controls Coming to Photographic Styles With iPhone 18 Pro

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced new texture and grain controls for Photographic Styles with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Photographic Styles are tone presets that adjust the color and warmth of a photo as it is captured, rather than as a filter applied afterward, while preserving skin tones.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max gain a redesigned computational imaging pipeline for the 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera that Apple says produces sharper, more detailed shots. The new texture and grain controls build on that pipeline, allowing users to further dial in their desired appearance for more creative control over their photos.

It is not clear if older iPhone models such as the iPhone 17 Pro, which otherwise support the latest version of Photographic Styles, will receive the feature via a software update.

Would be great if at least 17 Pro/Pro Max gets it but it is possible that it is only for the latest iPhones. Hopefully there will be more information soon.

This is peak Apple, hiding pure software features behind a new hardware purchase. I hope that NoFusion can emulate this, too like they did with Photographic Styles before.

I wish there was a non-processing Photographic Style like the Pixel 11 has.

Just a gadget since photographers would edit in photoshop or similar apps like Pixelmator pro
