iPhone 18 Pro cameras could finally be worthy of the 'Pro' name — iOS 27 leak reveals focus peaking, waveform, and manual focus upgrades
iOS 27 might include tools that give you more control over the camera app, but it's unclear whether these will be exclusive to the iPhone 18 Pro series.
iOS 27 leak reveals five potential iPhone camera upgrades that could elevate the Pro series, including waveform and histogram displays, focus peaking, manual focusing, adjustable lens corrections based on aperture, and a repeated self-timer feature. MacRumors forum member pdfu has discovered evidence of these enhancements in the iOS 27 code.
The features, if implemented, would provide more advanced manual camera control options that are not currently available in the iPhone's standard camera app. While the features are not confirmed to be present in the current iPhone lineup, they are expected to be exclusive to the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series. The aperture adjustments and manual focus mode may primarily benefit phones with variable apertures, ruling out current models.
All details will become clearer soon as Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro series and iPhone Ultra on September 9.
