AI Photo Editing on iPhone: Apple Adds 3 AI Tools to iOS 27
iOS 27 gives the iPhone native AI photo editing for the first time. Three new tools are built directly into Photos, with no third-party apps needed. Reframe recomposes a shot around its subject, Extend expands the edges of the frame, and Clean Up removes unwanted elements. In raw power, iOS 27 still trails Google Pixel, but the scale is different: Apple is bringing AI editing to a billion iPhone users with a single firmware update.

Apple has added a built-in neural network for photos to iOS 27, with three new AI editing tools: Reframe, Extend and Clean Up. For the first time, the standard Photos app on iPhone will get full-fledged tools for reworking images.
Which AI tools has Apple added for photo editing?
There are three new features: Reframe lets you change the composition of a shot, Extend expands a photo beyond the edges of the frame, and Clean Up removes unwanted objects. Previously, the built-in tools were limited to cropping, filters and basic brightness and contrast adjustments.
When will this neural network be available on regular iPhones?
The features have appeared in the iOS 27 developer beta and are not yet available to ordinary users.
