The second X post from new Apple CEO John Ternus is almost certainly teasing the iPhone 18 Pro Max's variable aperture camera, which should be revealed later today.
Just as Tim Cook and other executives tease launches before special events, new CEO John Ternus has done the same thing. His second post to X, ahead of today's special event, is a video that hints at something camera-related, without explicitly saying what it's about.

The 14-second video with no commentary shows a spotlight on a black background. The light adjusts to a narrow beam, pointing down at curved glass that could easily be from a camera.
One of the main rumors for the iPhone 18 Pro Max is the use of a variable aperture with one of the cameras, instead of the usual fixed-focus lens system smartphones usually use.
Whatever the tease is for, it's only a matter of hours before Apple reveals all.
