Apple Intelligence Photo Editing: Everything You Missed! (Video)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Software, Videos, Artificial Intelligence
Apple’s Photos app is getting a serious AI upgrade in iOS 27, and it changes what happens after you tap the shutter. In this video, I break down three new Apple Intelligence photo tools coming to iPhone: a much more powerful Cleanup, a new Extend feature that can grow the edges of your photo, and Spatial Reframing, which lets you shift the composition after the shot was already taken.
These features are built for the photos we all mess up. A stranger in the background, a chair ruining the frame, a crop that is too tight, a horizon that needs fixing, or a subject that would look better just slightly repositioned. Some of this runs on-device, while the higher-quality versions use Apple’s Private Cloud Compute for more complex edits.
I walk through how each tool works, where the results are impressive, where the limitations are, which iPhones will support them, and what to know about beta access, internet requirements, and possible usage limits once iOS 27 ships publicly.
