Will surely be useful if it works properly. Will not be surprised if it takes a few months to launch after the first version of iOS27. Want to see Clean Up also to improve.

i hope this will not be language dependent - like current AI tools not present on half devices that do not use few of the supported languages
 
i imagine this is hard to do due to the on device needed for this. Still it needs a big update as currently you have to use gemimi app to do alot of these things and google photos.
 
Depends on the photo format. If JPEG - it will open fully edited on anything capable of opening jpeg. If format is HEIF (high efficiency) - it won’t open on anything older than Mac OS Mojave (10.14) I think
In principle photo edits are non-destructive, the original is always kept as an original. Exporting an edited photo does not include the original, the image is 'printed' as it were. The original photo is only available in the Photo app database as far as I'm aware.

It's crazy how these features are already in many other apps. Why can't Apple do anything at all lately?
There used to be a time when Apple waited to do something better, now it feels like Apple just waits to do what others have been doing. Kinda sad to think Apple is just late to the game for technology advancement.

I feel like the latest for Apple is to skimp to improve the bottom line. When the market is saturated the only way to grow is nickel and dime your customers. (No headphones, chargers, cheaper operating technology, less frequent updates etc.

If you think about it, it really is crazy. When did Apple, the biggest tech company on earth, get so far behind a technology that everyone else is moving forward on. I use AI daily on my work S26 Ultra, for things as easily as asking simple questions, to as complex as ordering me an Uber without even touching the phone until I'm ready to confirm. Truly disappointing from such a company like Apple who so many of us viewed as the standard of tech companies. Lately, not so much.
 
Hey you all! Lower your expectations to ZERO and you are never disappointed.

I do not expect AI to be operational even in the 28 series of the operating systems. One has to wonder if there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians at Apple.

From many of the reports, stupid at the top has a way of trickling down through the ranks.

The Department that needs a major kick in the back side is Quality Control. I wonder if all those folks are on sabbatical for another year as they seem to have been missing the plot recently

Apple fall further behind in ai.

Just give back to Google all of the money that they pay for default search placement and beg for all of their ai models including image and video manipulation
 
Me neither.
Apple already seems to be winning the AI race, even without heavily using AI in its systems. Everyone’s rushing to buy Mac minis and MacBooks to run LLMs locally...😁
I feel like we’re heading back to the dawn of the iPhone, where you went to Apple for the hardware and ux (let’s pretend that Liquid Glass doesn’t exist) with services provided by Google, because they’re best in class.

Maybe they will get it right by 2029, but I'm not counting on it.

Before Cook we used to get these surprises at WWDC that people did not expect and they mostly worked or were fixed in the coming months.

After Cook we get announcements at WWDC that will not be workable or usable for years to come.

Yep, that’s true. In JPEG it would create multiple copies of a file but it won’t show those copies in Photos app unless one clicks “revert” when editing a photo. But these originals can be exported with Image Capture app on Mac. If AirDrop is chosen it will send only edited copy. HEIF is more interesting - it seems to keep all versions of a photo in a single file, so if one sends it via AirDrop it keeps original too
 
Apple purchased Photomator (and Pixelmator) back in February 2025. Both are good products.

Those tools included Machine Learning (ML) features, which we could assume would be marketed as “AI” features. Some of them work very well.

Surely by now, Apple would have fully integrated Photomator and its full suite of features into iOS……..

Love the program, hopefully apple doesn't destroy it but they likely will

Totally! Apple was heading in a better direction when it comes to services, but Google is still ahead. I’m not upset, though—Apple is far ahead of everyone else in hardware and UX, and I like that they keep doing so well there.
