iOS 27 code hints at 5 new iPhone camera features

A developer has discovered five unreleased Camera app features in iOS 27 code, including exposure scopes, focus peaking, burst-style timers, manual focus, and aperture-dependent optical processing, potentially hinting at new iPhone hardware ahead of Apple's event. The features, detailed by developer pdfu on X, are not yet enabled for users and remain unconfirmed by Apple. The most notable discovery is an aperture-blending system that aligns with earlier rumors about variable-aperture camera hardware expected in this year's iPhone lineup. Manual focus controls appear exclusive to iPhones shipped with iOS 27, suggesting they will be limited to the iPhone 18 lineup. However, code found in beta software does not guarantee these features will ship, and Apple has not confirmed any of the findings.
