Apple's Camera Chief Thinks AI Can Give You Superpowers

Apple's camera and photos software lead, Jon McCormack, defended the generative AI tools coming to the iOS 27 Photos app in a Wired interview, saying the company is "not using AI for the sake of AI." The new tools generate fresh pixels never present in the original shot, letting people expand a photo past its edges and shift the camera angle after a picture is taken. Apple frames these as creative aids rather than deception and plans to flag every AI-edited image with an invisible watermark.
