Apple’s new AI photo editing tools mostly work, for better and worse

The Verge
Apple's new iOS 27 AI photo editing features offer convenient improvements but raise concerns about the authenticity of captured images.

Summary

Apple has introduced new AI-powered photo editing features in the iOS 27 beta, including an upgraded Clean Up tool for removing background objects, an Extend tool for expanding image borders, and a Spatial Reframing tool for adjusting perspective. While the Clean Up and Extend tools generally perform reliably, the Spatial Reframing feature frequently produces uncanny or inaccurate results, such as inventing new subjects. These tools mark a significant shift for the iPhone's native photos app, prompting discussions about the erosion of trust in digital photography despite the inclusion of Synth ID labels to identify AI-modified content.
