Overview
- Developers found dozens of internal model identifiers in the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate that reference unreleased iPhones, iPads, Macs, AirPods, and multiple smart‑home devices.
- The code includes V63, V64, and V68 identifiers tied to the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone 'Ultra', with outlets reporting those Pro models and the foldable as likely candidates for a September reveal.
- A short demo clip and error strings in the build reference B790, which reporters describe as AirPods with built‑in cameras, indicating Apple is testing live image streaming from earbuds.
- Multiple home‑related codenames appear, including J490/J491 for a base and wall‑mount Home Hub, Pebble for the homeOS name, and J229 for a multi‑sensor accessory that may be a security camera.
- The build also lists M6 MacBook and OLED iPad mini codenames plus many unexplained model numbers, creating both near‑term launch expectations and persistent uncertainty about other devices and regional or accessory variants.
