iOS 27 Beta Reveals Apple Foldable Clues With 2 New Display References
3 articles · Updated · Engadget · Jun 8
Summary
iOS 27’s first developer beta includes framework terms such as “foldState” and “angleDegrees,” plus language about the number of built-in displays—fresh signs Apple is preparing software for a foldable device.
9to5Mac said those references appear in iOS 27 but were absent from iOS 26, strengthening the case that the code reflects new hardware support rather than leftover internal testing.
Apple also told developers at its State of the Union that iPhone apps will gain resizing support in macOS mirroring and on iPad, a change that fits a phone with a different screen shape.
The findings add to expectations that a foldable iPhone could be unveiled this fall, with iOS 27 positioned as the operating system for that new form factor.
