iOS 27 code hints at 5 new iPhone camera features

Hidden code in Apple's iOS 27 beta reveals five unannounced Camera app features, including exposure scopes and variable-aperture support, though none are confirmed by Apple. The discovery comes from developer pdfu ahead of Apple's iPhone event. The features include waveform and histogram exposure tools, focus peaking and highlight-clipping overlays, burst-style timed captures, manual focus controls, and aperture-dependent optical processing. The aperture-blending system aligns with earlier rumors about variable-aperture hardware in the upcoming iPhone lineup. Code found in beta software does not guarantee a feature will ship, and Apple has not confirmed any of these tools. The manual focus feature appears exclusive to the iPhone 18 lineup, requiring compatible hardware that shipped with iOS 27.
