Apple is introducing new AI features to its Photos app in the upcoming iOS 27, allowing users to subtly enhance their images. The features, Extend and Spatial Reframe, enable users to expand and adjust photo perspectives by generating additional pixels, but with limitations to ensure the main subject remains unaltered.

The update highlights Apple's commitment to using AI to address common photo composition issues while preserving the integrity of captured moments.
