Apple Quietly Excludes Older iPhones From New Camera Feature

Apple is restricting new Texture and Grain controls for Photographic Styles to iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo models, contradicting initial press release wording regarding iOS 27 compatibility. Simultaneously, Apple is developing an anti-snatching feature internally named AutoLock for iOS 27.2. This security tool utilizes the gyroscope, accelerometer, and a paired Apple Watch to detect sudden movements and sharp acceleration, automatically locking the iPhone if sensors determine the device has been grabbed from the owner.
