Apple has accidentally revealed references to six unannounced iPhone models within the fifth developer beta version of iOS 27, according to MacWorld. The references were discovered inside system files related to battery management features.
The code contains internal identifiers V62, V63, V64, V67, V68, and V69. Macworld reported that these codes correspond to the iPhone Air 2, iPhone 18, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Ultra, and iPhone 18e. The specific device names are not explicitly written in the code but were identified using internal Apple code names and prior leaks.
This marks the first time that references to an entire upcoming iPhone 18 lineup have appeared together in a test version of iOS. Apple has not officially confirmed the existence of these models, leaving the findings based on analysis of internal identifiers.
Expected launch schedule
Apple is expected to change its launch schedule for new smartphones, according to preliminary data. The iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone Ultra are projected to arrive in the autumn of 2026. The standard iPhone 18, the iPhone 18e, and the iPhone Air 2 may debut in the spring of 2027.
The leak follows recent reports that Apple allegedly cancelled development of an all-glass iPhone planned for its 20th anniversary. Additionally, a cyberattack on an Apple partner disclosed new details about the iPhone 18 Pro camera, while Apple recently reached a market capitalization of $5 trillion for the first time in history.
