New leaks on X with potential ios27

[Kaulini]

Videos show homescreen in any direction, even landscape and upside down. Potential for iphone fold. Multitasking and more ipadOS type system

Even upside down the dynamic island at the bottom works properly with the prompts it shows

Sounds likely that iphone will evolve in that direction. The iPad like features are most likely for when using it in docked mode or for the fold phone. I'm guessing that iPadOS and iOS will merge into one OS again in the future.

Whoa..

Another thought around "docked" mode.
If this will become available it will be, at least initially, a bit difficult to make a phone without any ports/connectors. That's me assuming it will connect to a dock using USB-C/TB.
Maybe the dock solution will be made available for TB enabled phones only for better performance.

This is no leak whatsoever or any indication that this is coming in 27, it‘s just further cementing how iPadOS is nothing more than iOS with a slightly different coat of paint and more functionality unlocked.

Anyone who ever thought iPadOS is its own thing (and not just iOS with a different name) is delusional.

This is a modified MobileGestalt file that allows for iPadOS features on iOS, this is patched in iOS 26.2 beta 2
