Apple’s first iOS 27 developer beta, released recently, contains software references that point to a foldable iPhone, according to multiple reports. 9to5Mac says the update includes code tied to features that would only apply to a device with a folding form factor. TechCrunch reports that the beta contains references to device “fold state” and measurements related to screen angle, indicating the operating system can track how the phone is positioned when folded or opened. The Next Web adds that Apple did not announce a foldable iPhone during WWDC 2026, but that software researcher findings identify code strings related to folding hardware, including labels such as “foldState” and fields like “mechanicalAngleDegrees” and “angleDegrees.” The reports collectively describe the same theme: iOS 27 includes internal cues that align with a foldable device’s mechanics and how its screen angle changes. Apple has not publicly confirmed plans for a foldable iPhone in connection with these beta findings, and the evidence cited is based on code discovered in the developer beta rather than an official product announcement.
