Overview
- Multiple tech outlets reporting Monday, September 7, 2026, say a MacRumors forum investigator named pdfu found iOS 27 beta code references to five unannounced Camera app features.
- The code names exposure scopes that show waveform and histogram readouts for judging exposure directly in the viewfinder.
- Other references describe focus peaking and highlight warnings to show what is sharply focused and flag overexposed areas in the camera preview.
- The beta also contains a repeated self‑timer that takes back‑to‑back timed shots and manual focus controls with a focus‑lock workflow that may be limited to devices shipping with iOS 27.
- Technical entries for aperture‑based image correction point to support for variable‑aperture processing, which aligns with expectations that the iPhone 18 Pro hardware could enable some of these software improvements but none of the features are active in public betas and Apple has not announced them.
