Overview
- A MacRumors forum member published beta-code findings Monday that multiple outlets corroborated, revealing references to five unreleased Camera app features in iOS 27.
- The code mentions exposure scopes that display histograms and waveforms to judge exposure in real time and focus peaking that outlines what is sharply focused in the viewfinder.
- Developers found a repeated self-timer mode that takes back-to-back timed shots and a manual-focus control that can set and lock focus, with the manual logic apparently limited to devices that ship with iOS 27 or later.
- iOS 27 contains aperture-based image correction logic that selects and blends lens-correction data by aperture setting, a detail that supports reports the iPhone 18 Pro may include a variable-aperture main camera; this link remains unconfirmed.
- None of the five features are active in current public betas, and Apple could reserve or delay them for new hardware or future updates, with more clarity expected around the company’s Sept. 9 product reveal.
