Apple Leak Shows 5 iOS 27 Camera Tools for iPhone 18 Pro

Summary
iOS 27 developer beta 8 code points to five camera additions Apple could unveil this week: waveform and histogram exposure scopes, focus peaking, highlight clipping and manual focus.
Three scope presets — RGB Composite, RGB Parade and Luminance — would let users judge shadows, mid-tones and highlights inside Apple’s stock Camera app.
Manual focus appears tied to the iPhone 18 Pro, with code checking for devices whose first supported release is iOS 27, suggesting current iPhones will not get that control.
Apple is also testing aperture-aware lens correction blending, a change that fits reports of variable-aperture hardware on the iPhone 18 Pro.
Some leaked features may not ship, but Apple is expected to show at least part of the camera upgrade package at the September 9 iPhone 18 Pro launch.
