Developers received iOS 27 beta 5 on Monday, containing hidden code that reveals six unreleased iPhone models. The code was found in system files related to the iPhone's battery drivers and Battery Intelligence features. The six unmentioned iPhone models are V62 - iPhone Air 2, V63 - iPhone 18 Pro, V64 - iPhone 18 Pro Max, V67 - iPhone 18, V68 - iPhone Ultra, and V69 - iPhone 18e.
This is the first time all six iPhone 18 models have been mentioned in code within an iOS 27 beta. The discovered references consist of the codes in bold, while the inferred names are used for clarity. However, Apple has yet to confirm the existence of any upcoming iPhone 18 models, despite them being a subject of heavy speculation for months.
Apple is employing a split-launch strategy for the iPhone 18 series, with the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone Ultra set to be unveiled in September, followed by the regular iPhone 18 in the spring of 2027 and the iPhone 18e and iPhone Air 2.
