# Leaked iOS Code Names Five StandBy Views Apple Never Mentioned, Including Snoopy

*Strings buried in the iOS 27.1 simulator point to Home Camera, Home Modular and more ahead of the iPhone Duo’s October 23 launch*

## In brief

- Developer pdfu found five unannounced StandBy view names in iOS 27.1 simulator strings, per 9to5Mac
- The names: Home Camera, Home Modular, Flow, Fade and Snoopy, tied to an app called Rushmore
- Home Camera would show one camera feed; Home Modular a feed grid or smart-home controls
- Apple’s confirmed StandBy lineup is Clock, Modular, Calendar, Weather and Photos for iPhone Duo
- StandBy works on inner or outer display without power; the Duo ships October 23

Apple announced the iPhone Duo’s StandBy lineup with what appeared to be completeness — Clock, Modular, Calendar, Weather, a Photos view with Shared Albums and deeper tinkering across colors, fonts and complications. It seemed like the whole menu. It was not the whole menu. A developer’s rummage through Apple’s own iOS 27.1 simulator has turned up five view names that Apple has never publicly acknowledged, and one of them is Snoopy.

The rummager is developer and leaker pdfu, who, according to 9to5Mac’s September 28, 2026 report, examined localization strings in the iOS 27.1 simulator tied to an app called Rushmore. Rushmore appears intended to host redesigned StandBy faces, though the app itself was absent from the simulator — a set of wiring and labels for a room whose door is still drywalled over. The strings exposed five names: Home Camera, Home Modular, Flow, Fade, and Snoopy. All five sit entirely outside Apple’s official announcement.

## Decoding the name tags

What do these things do? The evidence ranges from thin to purely alphabetical. Home Camera reportedly puts a single camera feed inside StandBy — turning a propped-up Duo into an ad-hoc monitoring display. Which cameras, which protocols, which security permissions: unconfirmed, all of it.

Home Modular reportedly goes further, showing either a grid of camera feeds or a set of custom smart-home controls — something in the direction of a HomeKit-style dashboard parked permanently on your counter. The precise layout and supported accessories have not been established.

Flow, per pdfu, involves responsive or animated artwork, a reading that is speculative; the strings yield the name but not the behavior. Fade is, at present, a name and nothing more — no functionality has been reported beyond it, and any kinship between Fade and Flow rests solely on the fact that they were caught loitering in the same localization file.

And then there is Snoopy, which is expected to resemble the Snoopy animations familiar from tvOS. Whether that means an interactive face, a passive screensaver-style loop, or a beagle with sound effects is unknown. One hopes, unreasonably but firmly, for the latter.

## How much to trust a string

A calibrated amount of skepticism is in order, because localization strings and simulator assets are ingredients, not a plated dinner. They can represent features that are experimental, half-built, or headed for the cutting floor. Some leaked names ship under different labels; others never surface in a public build at all. Apple could alter, rename, delay, or quietly execute any of these five views before the iPhone Duo ships on October 23 — or in any iOS update after that.

The confirmed foundation, it should be said, is already interesting on its own merits. Apple says StandBy can activate on either the Duo’s inner or outer display, and — unlike the countertop-clock behavior of earlier iPhones — it can do so without the phone being connected to power. If Home Camera and Home Modular do materialize, that foundation gains a persistent smart-home monitoring and control layer sitting on a folded device. Worth watching, even though nothing pdfu found constitutes a promise from Apple.

And that is perhaps the most characteristic detail in the whole leak. The world’s most secretive technology company, famous for controlling every syllable of its product reveals, maintains a simulator full of little labeled drawers — app codenames like Rushmore, strings for unannounced beagles — and hands versions of it to the public to develop against. The vault has windows. Someone just has to be willing to press their face against the glass.
