Intro & Compatibility [0:00]
The video opens with an overview of upcoming updates for the iPhone Photos app in iOS 27, which is compatible with devices starting from the iPhone 11. New features will be available with the release of iOS 27, expected on September 14. The changes aim to enhance photo editing, organization, sharing, and overall utility for all users.
Expected Availability [1:16]
Fox predicts the iOS 27 update will be accessible to everyone by September 14, 2023. Users can check for updates via the iPhone settings under general and software updates. Most features discussed will cater to iPhones going back to the iPhone 11, while some are exclusive to the newest models.
Spatial Reframe [1:55]
One of the standout features is the Spatial Reframe tool, which allows users to rotate photos in 3D space after capturing them. By selecting the reframe tool, users can adjust perspectives, which the app fills in automatically, making it easy to correct framing issues without reshooting. The process of saving and reverting changes is also streamlined for user convenience.
Extend [3:54]
The Extend feature enables users to zoom out on a photo and have the surrounding area filled in. This is accomplished by selecting the extend tool and pinching outward to adjust the frame. The app uses AI to complete the extended background, providing a seamless way to create containing environments in photographs.
Improved Cleanup [5:30]
The Cleanup tool, which removes unwanted elements from photos, has been enhanced for greater accuracy. Users can now select objects to delete more effectively, with a new high-quality option available for improved results. The tool allows for greater control and detail during the editing process.
Save Video Frame As Photo [8:18]
A new feature allows users to save high-resolution video frames as photos, significantly improving the quality compared to screenshots. Users can navigate through video playback, select frames they want to save, and store them in their photo library, providing a better resolution than previous methods.
Save Slideshow As A Video [9:46]
The Photos app now includes a built-in slideshow maker that can save finished slideshows as videos. Users can customize transitions and music, and after creating a slideshow, they can easily save it as a video file, enabling sharing and distribution beyond the Photos app.
Shared Albums Changes [12:27]
Shared albums now allow for full-resolution media storage and enable sharing with Android users, which was not possible previously. However, the update means shared albums will now consume iCloud storage space, unlike before where they did not. Existing lower-resolution shared albums remain unaffected.
Sync Immediately [13:30]
The Sync Immediately feature speeds up the synchronization of photos and videos across Apple devices. Users can activate this feature for a day, enhancing the sharing and availability of their media. There are considerations regarding battery life and data usage, particularly when not connected to Wi-Fi.
Captured My Me [15:13]
The Captured By Me utility filters photos to display only those taken by the user, excluding screenshots, shared images, and downloaded content. To access this feature, users can navigate through the Photos app to easily see their own captured moments, enhancing personal photo management.
Planning for Apple Event Next Week [16:19]
The video concludes with a mention of an upcoming Apple event on September 9, where new iPhones are expected to be unveiled. Fox expresses the intent to cover the event and discuss announcements shortly after it concludes.
