Apple's iOS 27: AI Photo Editing Arrives!
29 Apr
Summary
- Apple to launch AI-powered photo editing in iOS 27.
- New tools enhance, extend, and reframe images on-device.
- Features aim to match existing Android AI capabilities.
Apple is reportedly developing advanced AI-powered photo-editing tools for its upcoming iOS 27 update, slated for release this fall. These new features are designed to compete with similar AI capabilities already available on Android devices from Google and Samsung.
The forthcoming "Apple Intelligence Tools" will be integrated into the photo editing interface, offering functions like Enhance, Extend, and Reframe. Enhance aims to improve image quality through AI-driven adjustments to color and lighting. Extend will enable generative image expansion beyond the original photo's borders, while Reframe is intended for spatial photos, allowing users to alter perspective post-capture.
Apple's current AI offering in the Photos app is limited to a "Clean Up" tool for object removal, which has faced criticism for inconsistent results. The new version of Clean Up is expected to offer improved performance. Development for Extend and Reframe tools has reportedly encountered challenges, but Apple has several months to refine them before the iOS 27 launch.
