iOS 27 Beta Code Hints at Six New iPhones Ahead

Apple makes iPhones, and it is working on new ones that it has not told us about yet.

A special test version of Apple's software, called iOS 27, has secret hints hidden inside.

People who look closely at the code can find clues about future iPhones.

The clues mention six new iPhones, including the iPhone 18 and iPhone Ultra.

The hints were found in files that control the phone's battery.

Each new iPhone has a secret code name, like V62 or V67.

The code also gives hints that Apple might be making a folding phone.

A folding phone is one that can bend like a book.

Apple will probably show off its fancy new phones in September.

But Apple has not officially said anything yet, so we have to wait and see.
