iFixit tears down iPhone 18 Pro's mechanical variable aperture

iFixit assesses repairability and cost implications

The teardown identifies that the close tolerances, adhesive, and tiny blade components make component-level repair unrealistic; a single stuck or broken blade would likely require replacing the entire camera assembly. Apple has not published pricing for the replacement module, though the previous iPhone model's assembly cost $249 through Apple's self-service repair channel. iFixit gave both Pro models a provisional 7/10 repairability score.

“If one blade sticks or breaks, a repair will probably require replacing the complete main-camera assembly rather than fixing the aperture.”
