iOS 27 camera app adds pro tools with variable aperture hints

Apple's upcoming iOS 27 camera app will introduce professional features, including exposure scopes, manual focus, and focus peaking, ahead of the iPhone 18 event. These tools aim to replace the current basic exposure slider with more advanced control. The update adds RGB histogram and waveform tools, exposure clipping indicators, and a multi-capture timer option. Aperture-dependent optical processing hints at potential variable aperture support, possibly for the rumored iPhone 18 Pro Max. These additions mark a significant shift from the iPhone's traditional point-and-shoot approach, bringing it closer to Android's pro modes. The full details are expected at Apple's event tomorrow.
