Next up is a new tool called Extend. With this one, you can expand a photo to surround the subject with more space. AI automatically fills in the extended area based on the background.

Finally, another new tool, Reframe (aka Spatial Reframing), lets you shift the angle or perspective of a photo, almost as if you're repositioning the camera's view.

I tried all three tools on several photos to see how they worked, and here are my impressions. Before we proceed, though, let's get a couple of things out of the way.

As the first developer beta, iOS 27 is likely to be unstable and unsuitable for everyday use. That's why I strongly suggest you install this only on a spare iPhone and not on your primary device. I use an iPhone 15 Pro to test new features, especially AI-powered ones. That's because Apple Intelligence supports only the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, as well as the entire iPhone 16 and 17 lineup.
