iPhone Ultra Touch ID 'Confirmed' in iOS 27? Not So Fast

Apple's iPhone Ultra is widely expected to feature Touch ID instead of Face ID, but references found in the iOS 27 beta probably shouldn't be treated as proof. Code explorer pdfu has found Car Key strings linking an iPhone with both Ultra Wideband and Touch ID, which they say "confirms" Touch ID for the foldable since "all existing iPhone models with an UWB chip, starting with iPhone 11, use Face ID." But Apple's codebase often has Touch ID references that aren't tied to specific hardware. Legacy terminology can also linger for years, with references to discontinued products like iPod still appearing in recent iOS code. So while Touch ID is expected, this detail doesn't confirm it.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27Tag: iPhone UltraThis article, "iPhone Ultra Touch ID 'Confirmed' in iOS 27?
