Cupertino: Apple is preparing to unveil iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 updates with a focus on enhancing artificial intelligence capabilities to provide a more advanced experience compared to its competitors.

According to Qatar News Agency, a recent report revealed that the company is developing new photo editing tools within the Photos app, under a dedicated section called Apple Intelligence Tools. This will offer three main features: "Extend," which allows users to expand the background of a photo with generative AI; "Enhance," which automatically improves lighting, image quality, colors, and details; and "Reframe," which shifts the perspective of a photo after it's taken, primarily for Apple's spatial photos.

In addition to these updates, Apple is working on launching a new version of its Siri voice assistant in the style of traditional chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini. This will rely on a cloud infrastructure supported by Google. The company has affirmed that this development will not compromise its strict privacy standards and intends to provide a standalone application for Siri for the first time.

These anticipated improvements are expected to be announced at Apple's WWDC 2026 developers conference in early June and will be available to users later this year.
