Washington, April 29 (QNA) - Apple is preparing to unveil iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 updates with a clear focus on enhancing the artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities of its devices to provide a more advanced experience compared to its competitors.
A recent report revealed that the company is developing new photo editing tools within the Photos app, under a dedicated section called Apple Intelligence Tools, and will offer three main features.
The "Extend" feature allows users to expand the background of the photo with generative AI, "Enhance" automatically improves lighting, image quality, colors, and details, and "Reframe" shifts the perspective of a photo after it's taken, primarily for Apple's spatial photos.
In parallel, Apple is working on launching a new version of its Siri voice assistant in the style of traditional chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini, relying on a cloud infrastructure supported by Google, with the company affirming that this will not affect the strict privacy standards it adopts, and intends to provide a standalone application for Siri for the first time.
These anticipated improvements are expected to be announced at Apple's WWDC 2026 developers conference in early June and will be available to users later this year. (QNA)
