Where is the API for variable aperture of the iPhone 18 Pro?

According to Apple's press release (https://www.apple.com/pt/newsroom/2026/09/apple-debuts-iphone-18-pro-and-iphone-18-pro-max/):

Variable aperture also provides more control for creative pros by giving them the ability to manually adjust any of the four aperture settings in the Camera app, and an API is available to developers for even more control across the aperture range in their apps.

Can a DTS engineer specify the quoted API please? I can't see it anywhere in the documentation yet.

What does it mean "even more control across the aperture range"? Will it be possible to set the aperture in a 0.0-1.0 range?
