Apple May Integrate Visual AI Directly Into Camera App with iOS 27
Apple will embed Visual Intelligence in the Camera app and add on-device photo tools that scan labels, edit images, and support Siri upgrades.
- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans to move Visual Intelligence directly into the camera app itself in iOS 27, making the AI feature more discoverable alongside a new Siri Camera Mode.
- Facing pressure to deliver Siri features promised two years ago, Apple will unveil iOS 27 on Monday, June 8, at WWDC in Cupertino, California, with a focus on boosting overall performance.
- Apple will also revamp the Photos app with new "Apple Intelligence Tools," reports Gurman, adding Extend, Enhance, and Reframe features that use on-device AI on supported devices running iOS 27.
- The redesigned experience will feature a new shutter button styled after the Apple Intelligence logo in iOS 27, while Visual Intelligence maintains connections to Google Image Search and ChatGPT.
- Sources tell Gurman that initial tests for Extend and Reframe have not yielded favorable results, potentially forcing delays; earlier this year, Apple signed a deal with Google to use Gemini models for Siri.
