Apple has launched its developer betas for upcoming operating system updates, with official releases scheduled for later this fall. The event took place at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, where a team of WIRED reporters, led by editor Julian Chokkattu, provided live updates.
Among the major announcements was an upgrade to the iPhone's camera app, which will feature new AI capabilities in iOS 27. Enhancements include the “Clean Up” feature for removing unwanted objects, “Extend” for expanding images, and “Spatial Reframe” that alters photo perspectives using AI.
Additionally, improvements to the Shortcuts app will allow users to create shortcuts using natural language, simplifying the process significantly. This showcases Apple's focus on integrating AI into its ecosystem, which Tim Cook emphasized by stating, "I still believe the best is yet ahead." Further analysis and coverage of the announcements are expected to be available on WIRED.com soon.
