Apple Unveils iOS 27 With 5 AI Features, Including Photo Reframing and Auto Password Changes

3 articles · Updated · Boy Genius Report · Jun 29

Summary

  • iOS 27 adds five headline AI tools: Spatial Reframing in Photos, Safari’s Notify Me page tracking, natural-language Shortcuts creation, Camera-based bill splitting, and one-tap password changes for compromised logins.
  • Spatial Reframing lets users shift a photo’s perspective in real time using on-device models, then fills missing areas through Apple’s Private Cloud Compute; Apple also adds Clean Up, Extend, and SynthID watermarking for AI-edited images.
  • Safari’s Notify Me checks selected web pages daily for changes such as restocks or price drops, while the Passwords app can use Safari to sign in and replace weak or breached passwords automatically on supported sites.
  • Visual Intelligence powers the Camera bill-splitting feature, which identifies each diner’s items and can settle the total with Apple Cash, though that payment flow is limited to U.S. iPhone users.
  • The release deepens Apple’s AI push around Siri and Apple Intelligence, while highlighting features Android 17 and Gemini still lack or handle differently.
