Apple revives Samsung's abandoned phone features in 2026 iPhones

techtudo.com.br (Portuguese) —

Apple's 2026 iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo feature variable aperture cameras, stylus support, and under-display front cameras, technologies Samsung introduced years earlier but later abandoned. Samsung debuted variable aperture on Galaxy S9 phones in 2018 and S Pen support on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in 2021, but dropped both features in later models due to production costs and device thickness concerns. Apple's iPhone Duo, its first foldable, includes a 4MP under-display camera and Apple Pencil compatibility, mirroring Samsung's earlier Galaxy Z Fold designs that the Korean company discontinued by 2025.
