Ever since the iPhone 17<\/a> launched last fall, I\u2019ve been eager to see how Apple Intelligence<\/a> would define the company\u2019s hardware. Unfortunately, new AI features were minimal at best throughout the life cycle of iOS 26.<\/p>\n

Now that WWDC 2026<\/a> is upon us, Apple has a massive opportunity to redeem itself by introducing more robust Apple Intelligence features into the fold. Leaks have been rampant over the last month leading up to the keynote event on June 8. Most notably, we\u2019re likely to hear about a completely overhauled Siri powered by Google Gemini<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While Apple Intelligence should have a major presence within Siri<\/a> \u2014 like deeper system-wide task automation \u2014 I\u2019ll be sharing the specific rumored AI tools outside of Siri that genuinely have me excited. Here\u2019s what they are.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m big on AI tools for photo editing, especially how they save me time from manual edits. That\u2019s why I\u2019m stoked about iOS 27 getting an editing tool that\u2019s been long available with rivals Google<\/a> and Samsung.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m referring to the rumored Extend feature that would tap Apple Intelligence to generate additional image content beyond the original photo. For me, this would be handy if I\u2019m capturing photos in landscape \u2014 but later on need them to be in portrait to share on social media.<\/p>\n

By using this Extend feature, it would essentially use generative AI to extend the horizontal photo so that it becomes a vertical one. You can see from the gallery above about another similar AI tool that does exactly this<\/a> and how effective it is at extending the scene.<\/p>\n

Reframing spatial photos<\/p>\n

Another rumored Apple Intelligence feature coming to iOS 27 is a Reframe tool. Initially, I thought it would be for static photos, but the latest rumors indicate it\u2019s going to be primarily for spatial photos.<\/p>\n

Similar to the Extend tool, Reframe would allow users to change the perspective of an image. Rather than showing something from the front, you could reframe the view so that it\u2019s slightly off to the side. Think of it like snapping a portrait of your pet, only to realize later that you needed a perspective that was a bit off-center.<\/p>\n

Custom AI generated wallpapers<\/p>\n

One thing I love about some of the best Android phones<\/a> is that they share the same AI wallpaper tool \u2014 and it looks like iOS 27 is going to gain a similar feature. Unlike the implementations I\u2019ve used on phones like the Pixel 10 Pro XL<\/a>, which generate images based on pre-selected keywords and scenes, Apple\u2019s version would allow you to create wallpapers from scratch simply by describing what you want.<\/p>\n

More realistic creations with Image Playground<\/p>\n

When I put Apple\u2019s Image Playground to the test<\/a> against rivals like Google\u2019s Pixel Studio, I found its creations to be pretty underwhelming. That\u2019s because they often come out looking far too cartoony for my taste.<\/p>\n

What to read next<\/p>\n

With iOS 27, Apple is rumored to be improving Image Playground by not only updating the interface, but also making the generated images significantly more lifelike. That\u2019s a comforting prospect because, as you can see in the photo above, there is currently a massive disparity between the iPhone and the Pixel.<\/p>\n

More realistic looking Genmojis<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s Genmoji feature is also slated for a welcome upgrade with iOS 27. Apple is reportedly planning a new Suggested Genmoji option that automatically creates custom graphics by pulling context directly from your personal photos and commonly typed phrases.<\/p>\n

This ties right back into the underlying improvements Apple is making to its image generation models. Just like the updates coming to Image Playground, these tweaks are designed to seriously level up the overall quality and make your custom emojis look a whole lot more realistic and less cartoony.<\/p>\n

Organized tabs in Safari<\/p>\n

One particular Apple Intelligence feature coming to Safari<\/a> is the ability to better tidy up all of your open tabs with a tool called \u201cOrganize Tabs.\u201d This would automatically sort them into respective topics like shopping, sports, entertainment, and more. It sounds like a fantastic way of cleaning them up when you forget to close tabs out, only to realize a week later that you\u2019re sitting on closer to 100.<\/p>\n

Finally, there\u2019s an update expected for Apple\u2019s Clean Up tool<\/a>, which was one of the first Apple Intelligence features to launch. Even though it\u2019s proven intuitive to use, rivals have surpassed it in performance \u2014 as seen when Apple’s tool came in last during my three-way matchup against Google and Samsung<\/a>. This new update should hopefully make the object-eraser experience a whole lot more reliable.<\/p>\n
