Apple announced iOS 27 during the WWDC event on June 8, and, ahead of its release to the public this fall, it’s now been discovered that it will bring a Mac-like Recovery Mode to the iPhone for the first time.
Apple made a developer beta available to developers immediately following its WWDC opening keynote, and as part of that beta, it has been discovered that new Recovery Mode features are being added.
MacRumors reports that users will be able to hold the iPhone’s power button longer than usual to enter the special mode.
To use the feature, users must turn the device off, then hold the side button to power it on. The Apple logo appears as it would during a normal boot, but holding the button for an extended duration brings up a progress bar, and the device then launches into the new recovery environment rather than continuing into iOS or iPadOS as normal. The process mirrors how recovery mode is triggered on Apple silicon Macs by holding the power button.
The feature will include five options: Recovery Assistant, Software Update, Diagnostics Mode, Erase All Content and Settings, and Recovery Mode.
This new feature means that iPhone owners will be able to recover a device without first connecting it to a Mac when iOS 27 ships to the world this fall.
