A little fun with iOS 27’s Spatial Reframing.
The AI-powered feature is designed to adjust the angle of a photo you’ve taken… but maybe not reconstruct your entire head.

Apple says dropping support for some Watches is about processing power.
Cait Dooley, Apple Watch and Health Product Marketing Manager, was quick to tell TechRadar that older Apple Watch models will still work with newer iPhones and receive security updates. It’s just that Siri AI and some other watchOS 27 features require a bit more horsepower.
“The great new features in watchOS, including the capabilities of Siri AI and the new tap gesture, work best with the processing power that is in Apple Watch Series 9 and later, Ultra 2 and later, and SE 3. Older devices can still be paired with iPhones that are running the latest software and continue to receive security updates, so they can continue to have a great Apple Watch experience.”

iOS users in Brazil will now be able to install alternative app marketplaces.
We knew this was coming thanks to a settlement Apple made with Brazil’s competition watchdog last year, but now it’s official.

Apple’s customizable Camera app might launch with the iPhone 18 Pro.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman also said more third-party chatbots in Siri and modular Apple Watch faces are coming later this year, despite not making an appearance at WWDC.
Gurman also points out a few hints at WWDC about Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone, which could launch as soon as September, as well as a touchscreen Mac.
Siri is better, but its limitations are much more obvious on a Mac than an iPhone.
