    iOS 27 will bring more AI photo editing features to iPhones this fall.

    Apple is adding an “Apple Intelligence Tools” section to the Photos app editor, which will include four AI features: Extend, Enhance, Reframe, and Clean Up, reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

    Clean Up is the only AI editing tool already available in the Photos app, but it fell short of Google’s Magic Editor in our testing after its debut last year.
