A Apple disponibilizou ontem a quinta versão beta dos sistemas 27 e, no caso do iOS, além de trazer novidades como novos ícones para apps nativos e mais opções de personalização de voz para a Siri, a última atualização fez menção à linha de iPhones que deverá ser lançada entre o final deste ano e o início do ano que vem, composta pelos modelos “18 Pro”, “18 Pro Max”, “Ultra”, “18”, “18e” e “Air 2”.
As referências foram encontradas pela Macworld em arquivos do sistema relacionados aos drivers de bateria do iPhone, limitando-se à exibição dos codinomes desses aparelhos. Nenhuma outra informação sobre esses dispositivos foi localizada.
A lista dos seis codinomes internos inclui:
V62: “iPhone Air 2”
V63: “iPhone 18 Pro”
V64: “iPhone 18 Pro Max”
V67: “iPhone 18”
V68: “iPhone Ultra”
V69: “iPhone 18e”
Algo semelhante ocorreu com o “iPhone Ultra” na quarta versão beta do novo iOS, cujo código incluía referências a um aparelho com múltiplas baterias — algo inexistente hoje e fortemente especulado no caso do primeiro dobrável da Apple.
Em um feito inédito, o tradicional evento de setembro destinado ao anúncio de novos iPhones — cujos preparativos já começaram — poderá dividir os lançamentos da linha “iPhone 18”, restringindo-se inicialmente aos modelos premium, como o “Ultra”, o “18 Pro” e o “18 Pro Max”, enquanto os demais aparelhos ficarão para o início do ano que vem.
iPhone 17 Pro Max
Cores: prateado, laranja-cósmico ou azul-intenso Armazenamento: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB ou 2TB

Macworld reports that iOS 27 beta 5, released to developers on Monday, contains hidden code revealing six unreleased iPhone models – although you've probably heard of them before.
The following references are said to have been found alongside references to existing iPhone models, in system files associated with the iPhone's battery drivers and Battery Intelligence features:
V62 — iPhone Air 2
V63 — iPhone 18 Pro
V64 — iPhone 18 Pro Max
V67 — iPhone 18
V68 — iPhone Ultra
V69 — iPhone 18e
It's the first time the full iPhone 18 lineup has been mentioned in code found in an iOS 27 beta. To be clear, the discovered references are the codes in bold, excluding the names (which are inferred) but these internal Apple identifiers have appeared in previous leaks or have been used by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in his reporting, allowing them to be matched to the expected iPhone models.
Apple has not publicly confirmed the existence of any upcoming iPhone 18 models, but regular readers will know that they have been heavily rumored for several months now.
Apple is taking a different launch approach to the iPhone 18 series this time around, with a split-launch strategy that will see the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone Ultra unveiled in September. For the first time, the regular iPhone 18 will be launched in the spring of 2027 alongside the iPhone 18e and iPhone Air 2.
Apple is working on "Apple Reference Image," a photo provenance system that will verify if an image was captured with an iPhone. References to the feature were found in a privacy disclosure included in iOS 27 beta 5, but it is not live yet.
According to the text, there will be a "Reference" mode option in the Camera app that users can select. Using this mode will embed provenance data in the image's metadata.
Images captured with an opt-in Reference mode can be authenticated to confirm they were taken with an iPhone. Authenticating is done by tapping the Reference badge on the image, which sends the raw image, sensor signatures, capture time frame, and the unique hardware identifiers of the sensor to Apple's Private Cloud Compute (PCC) servers. PCC uses the information to determine whether the camera captured the photo, gives it a unique ID, and then returns an authenticated version to the user's device.
When authenticating a photo, Apple receives sensor data, a hash, and the assessment results, but not the raw photo. Apple can refuse to authenticate images from a sensor that might be compromised, and it can retroactively revoke a sensor's past authentications.
Authenticated photos can be viewed on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, and the Reference badge can also be clicked on a Mac. Images have to be captured in Apple's specific Reference mode to be authenticated, which suggests it's a feature aimed at pro photographers, journalists, and others who need to verify images. There may also be a video component, since Apple's disclosure mentions "photos or videos" and "uncropped footage."
Reference mode offers hardware-backed evidence that an image was captured with a physical camera sensor, which is useful at a time when AI can generate realistic-looking images. AI images are often watermarked or labeled through metadata to make sure they can be identified as fake, including images from Image Playground.
Camera manufacturers like Leica, Sony, and Nikon use C2PA Content Credentials for authentication, and Google also adopted it for the Pixel 10 lineup. Apple's authentication system sounds like it serves a similar purpose.
We're a little over a month away from the launch of iOS 27, and Apple is continuing to make changes. The fifth beta of iOS 27 changes the look of some app icons and adjusts Liquid Glass, plus it adds some smaller features that make the iPhone just a little nicer to use.
App Icons
There are updated Liquid Glass icons for Safari, Siri, Settings, Remote, App Store, and Preview. Some of the icons have been entirely redesigned, while others feature more detail than before.
Siri AI Voice Customization
Voice customizations for Siri AI have been expanded, and Pace and Expressivity can be adjusted for all seven American voices and the four British voices.
Siri AI voice customization is done on-device, so the feature is limited the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, or iPhone Air.
Contacts
If a contact you've created has a company associated with it, the company name will show in the contact list under the name and in search. It makes it easier to see more information on a contact without having to tap into the contact card.
Create a Pass
The Apple Wallet Create a Pass feature is now available outside of the U.S.
Splash Screens
Apple added splash screens for the Photos, Wallet, and Music apps, explaining what's new in iOS 27.
Search and Ask
Apple made minor changes to the animation when bringing up Search or Ask. The suggestions interface now comes up as the search bar does rather than popping up slightly afterward.
The search interface also now has a "Search the Web" option at the bottom of results that was not there before.
Apps in Search
You can now decide whether search should show app results, and if so, how many. You can turn off app results, have it show four apps, or have it show eight apps. There's also a toggle for showing app shortcuts.
Control Center
When connected to Wi-Fi, the Control Center no longer shows information on cellular connection.
When you look at your software version in Settings > General > About, it now tells you when the last update was installed.
Clock
There is a thicker font for the Alarms and Timers section of the Clock app.
Liquid Glass
The clearest Liquid Glass setting is clearer than it was in the prior beta.
Mail
There's now a toggle for the Personalize Smart Replies feature in the Mail app. It's off by default and can be turned on in the Mail section of the Settings app.
Battery
The Battery section of the Settings app will now let you know if a poor cellular connection is causing battery drain.
Apple has released iOS 27 beta 5 for iPhone, along with iPadOS 27 beta 5 for iPad. If you’re currently running the developer beta you will find the latest update available right away, and typically public beta testers find the same build version available soon after as well. The emphasis of iOS 27 and iPadOS ... Read More
In the fifth beta of iOS 27, Apple is continuing to make design tweaks. There are updated Liquid Glass icons for Safari, the Siri app, Settings, Remote, App Store, and Preview.
The Safari icon is a brighter blue with more detailed compass lines and arrows, while the Siri icon looks more like the actual Siri bubble that's displayed when Siri is activated. The App Store app icon is more translucent so you can better see each line making up the A, Settings uses more translucency, and Preview has an entirely different look with a loupe over a colorful background. The Remote icon also has more detail and it's been updated with a gray background instead of black.
Some app icons were updated with the initial iOS 27 beta release, including Maps, Photos, and Weather, but others kept their iOS 26 look.
It's possible Apple will overhaul even more icons in upcoming betas, because the company said it was planning to give icons an updated layered look to better fit the Liquid Glass aesthetic.
With the fifth beta of iOS 27, Apple has expanded the voice customization options for Siri AI.
Pace and Expressivity can now be adjusted for more of the available voice options instead of just the two American voices.
There are seven American voice options and four British voices to choose from, all of which can be customized with different Pace and Expressivity settings. Pace changes talking speed, while expressivity changes emphasis.
Siri AI voice customization is done on-device, so the feature is limited to newer iPhones. You need an iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, or iPhone Air to use voice customization on an iPhone.
It's available on Macs with an M3 chip or newer and at least 12GB RAM, and the M4 iPad Pro and newer, also with at least 12GB RAM.
Apple today seeded the fifth betas of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming two weeks after Apple released the fourth betas.
Registered developers can download the betas from the Settings app on the iPhone or iPad by going to the General section and selecting Software Update.
iOS 27 introduces Apple's smarter version of Siri, Siri AI. Siri AI is a chatbot similar to ChatGPT, incorporating general world knowledge, personal data from apps like Messages and Mail, and onscreen awareness to answer questions and find information for you.
There are new Apple Intelligence features in apps like Photos, Safari, Shortcuts, Wallet, and Passwords, plus Apple added a standalone Siri app that houses Siri conversations. Write with Siri is available systemwide for generating text or offering feedback on your writing, and Visual Intelligence has been relocated to the Camera app with a new Siri mode.
Apple improved the look of Liquid Glass and added a slider for customizing transparency. There are multiple performance improvements to speed up iOS, so everything feels faster, even on older iPhones. Apps launch quicker, AirDrop transfers are faster, the keyboard pops up more quickly, and devices are better at transitioning between Wi-Fi and Cellular to keep you connected.
Apple is making more of an effort to turn the iPhone into a physical wallet replacement in iOS 27, and there are several upgrades to the Wallet app.
Pass Upgrades
Apple upgraded airline boarding passes in the Wallet app with iOS 26, and in iOS 27, upgrades are coming to additional types of passes. Memberships, gift cards, loyalty cards, and rewards cards can use a bolder "Poster Generic" card style with full background images, primary logo, header fields, footer field, primary fields, and an optional barcode.
Each pass is able to include up to two actions that can be tapped from the bottom of the pass, such as getting directions to a venue or checking a rewards point balance.
Apple is also allowing users to check the pass issuer certificate to ensure that a digital pass is legitimate (not applicable to Create a Pass), and there are four new barcode types supported, including EAN–13, Code 39, Codabar, and ITF.
There is a new Pass Designer Mac app for developers that makes it easier to create a pass using a WYSIWYG editor.
Create a Pass
There's a "Create a Pass" feature in the Wallet app for adding tickets, memberships, and more using Visual Intelligence. If you have a ticket for an event and there's not a digital version available for the Wallet app already, you can create one using the physical pass.
You can scan a pass and add it with Visual Intelligence if there's a barcode or QR code, or a pass can be added manually. Pass templates include Standard, Membership, and Event.
Each type includes relevant information like name, location, or admission type, along with a scannable code drawn from an included barcode or QR code that you take a photo of. There are 12 background colors to choose from with different texture options, or seven custom backgrounds for categories like theater, music, sports, and movies.
Fields can be added or removed as needed when creating a custom pass, with options like label, date, membership, contact, coupon code, VIN, insurance, and more, so most physical cards are able to be stored digitally.
Hotel Keys
When you add a digital hotel key from a participating hotel to the Wallet app, you can now view more details about the trip. Hotels can provide updates on booked activities and allow access to different services.
AI Bill Splitting
Using the new Siri Mode in the Camera app, or a feature in the Messages and Wallet apps, you can take a photo of a bill and use Apple Intelligence to figure out what each person owes. Visual Intelligence scans the receipt and makes a digital copy of everything on the list, and each person can select what they consumed. Tax and tip portions are also calculated automatically.
Payments can be made using Apple Cash, which is a U.S.-only feature.
Insights
iOS 27 includes an "Insights" feature where you can add financial accounts to the Wallet app to monitor spending.
Insights is an expansion of the Connected Accounts feature in earlier versions of iOS, and it includes spending, recurring transactions, account balances, and more. It works for financial institutions that have implemented Connected Cards support, including several UK banks.
Order Tracking
Order tracking in the Wallet app is expanding to Australia and Canada in iOS 27. In iOS 26, it was limited to the United States and UK.
Tap to Share
Tap to Share is an iOS 27 feature that lets customers connect to a participating merchant's iPhone for quicker digital checkout.
Device Requirements
Visual Intelligence is an Apple Intelligence feature requiring an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Many of the other features should work on all iPhones.
Começando pela parte visual, a Apple continua a fazer ajustes em alguns ícones de aplicativos — como o Safari, o app da Siri, os Ajustes (Settings), o Controle Remoto, a App Store e o Pré-visualização (Preview), entre outros.
O ícone do Safari está em um azul mais claro, com linhas e setas da bússola mais detalhadas, enquanto o ícone do app da Siri se parece mais com o “balão” que aparece quando ela está ativada.
Can you actually spot the difference between Safari app icon:
O ícone da App Store está mais translúcido para que você possa ver melhor cada linha que compõe o “A”, enquanto o do app Ajustes também ficou mais translúcido em algumas partes.
Já o ícone do app Pré-visualização tem uma aparência completamente diferente, com uma lupa sobre um fundo colorido, enquanto o ícone do Controle Remoto também ganhou mais detalhes e foi atualizado com um fundo cinza em vez de preto.
A quinta beta do iOS 27 também expandiu ainda mais as opções de personalização da voz da Siri. Em versões anteriores, os controles deslizantes de Ritmo e Expressividade estavam disponíveis apenas para as vozes da Siri com sotaque americano.
Agora, essas opções de ajuste estão disponíveis para qualquer voz americana, além de todas as vozes com sotaque britânico já existentes. Isso significa que agora há 11 vozes compatíveis que permitem escolher diferentes configurações de ritmo (velocidade da fala) e expressividade (nível de emoção e ênfase).

Conforme observado pelo pessoal do 9to5Mac, o código da quinta beta iOS 27 mostra que a Apple está trabalhando em algo chamado “Imagem de Referência” (Apple Reference Image), um possível novo recurso projetado para autenticar a origem das fotos usando dados vinculados ao hardware da câmera do iPhone.
Para isso, o sistema enviará a imagem ao Private Cloud Compute para autenticação, sendo que certas informações do sensor e metadados da foto são enviados de volta para a Apple — embora ela garanta que não acessará a foto original.
Atualmente, o recurso está desativado por padrão e, quando for lançado, poderá ser ativado em Ajustes » Câmera » Imagem de Referência e tocando em “Modo de Referência”.
Essa verificação só será possível se as fotos forem capturadas com o referido modo ativo. Isso significa que as fotos tiradas normalmente não conterão as informações de procedência necessárias para a autenticação posterior; além disso, se a Apple determinar que um sensor pode ter sido comprometido, ela poderá revogar as autenticações anteriores associadas a esse sensor.
As fotos autenticadas também poderão ser compartilhadas com outras pessoas, de modo que as informações incluídas no compartilhamento variarão dependendo do método usado (AirDrop, Mensagens, etc.) e se a foto é uma versão original, editada ou autenticada. Se o usuário optar por compartilhar “Todos os Dados de Fotos”, a Apple afirma que a transferência também pode incluir identificadores de hardware exclusivos e qualquer vídeo não cortado associado à imagem.
Por fim, a reportagem aponta que a Apple também está adicionando uma opção “Transferir com Procedência” (Transfer with Provenance) para transferências feitas a partir de um cabo USB. Quando ativada, as fotos autenticadas transferidas para um Mac ou PC incluirão os dados de Imagem de Referência, enquanto as fotos não autenticadas ainda poderão conter informações de procedência, como identificadores de hardware exclusivos e qualquer vídeo não cortado.
RCS da Claro
Como notado por testadores da nova beta, a Claro começou a testar o suporte ao padrão RCS 1Rich communications service, ou serviço de comunicação rico., o que indica que ela pretende cumprir a promessa de liberar essa funcionalidade ainda neste ano.
Outras novidades menores vistas com as novas betas incluem novas telas de apresentação quando os aplicativos Carteira (Wallet), Apple Music, App Store e Fotos são abertos pela primeira vez após o update.

A Apple também fez ajustes na Central de Controle com a beta mais recente. Os tipos de rede celular não são mais exibidos — então você não verá “5G” ou “LTE” quando seu telefone estiver conectado a uma rede Wi-Fi. Ademais, a Central de Controle e a barra de status agora apresentam novas barras de ícones de rede celular.
Apple increased the height of the Cellular Data signal bars in the Status Bar and added a matching Control Center icon in iOS 27 Beta 5. pic.twitter.com/LabNcVkR8F
Na seção Busca do aplicativo Ajustes, a Apple adicionou uma nova opção chamada “Antes de Buscar” (Before Searching), permitindo que os usuários escolham quantos aplicativos aparecem como sugestões durante as buscas, entre outras coisas.
🚨 New feature Alert 🚨
iOS 27 Dev Beta 5 lets you devices how many apps spotlight suggests when first opening it up. You can keep it at 8, switch to 4 or just say none
No app Contatos (Contacts), caso um contato criado por você tiver uma empresa associada, o nome da empresa aparecerá na lista — abaixo do nome — e nos resultados de busca.

Há uma fonte mais espessa para a seção de Alarmes e Timers do aplicativo Relógio (Clock).
A configuração mais transparente do Liquid Glass está mais translúcida do que na versão beta anterior.
Agora existe uma opção para ativar ou desativar o recurso “Personalizar Respostas Inteligentes” no aplicativo Mail. O recurso vem desativado por padrão e pode ser ativado na seção Mail do aplicativo Ajustes.
iOS 27 beta 5 adds a new setting for mail called Personalize Smart Replies

A seção Bateria do aplicativo Ajustes agora informa se uma conexão de rede móvel ruim está causando consumo excessivo de bateria.
O aplicativo Ajustes agora também mostra quando a atualização mais recente do iOS foi instalada.
O recurso de criação de passes do app Carteira já está disponível fora dos Estados Unidos.
A fonte San Francisco dos números do indicador de bateria foi trocada por uma versão mais arredondada.
