Apple’s iPhone Camera App Is Getting an AI Upgrade in iOS 27

苹果 iPhone 相机应用将在 iOS 27 中迎来 AI 升级

Your iPhone camera app will look a little different this fall. On Monday at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in Cupertino, California, Apple showed off new features in its next version of its mobile operating system, iOS 27, and changes are afoot for the camera app. 今年秋天,你的 iPhone 相机应用将会有所不同。周一,在加利福尼亚州库比蒂诺举行的年度全球开发者大会(WWDC)上,苹果展示了其下一代移动操作系统 iOS 27 的新功能,其中相机应用也将迎来变革。

Notably, instead of just shifting between Photo and Video tabs, there’s now a new option: Siri AI. 值得注意的是,相机应用不再仅仅是在“照片”和“视频”标签之间切换,现在新增了一个选项:Siri AI。

Before, to trigger Siri’s Visual Intelligence feature, you had to press the Camera Control button. When you pressed it, Siri could see what you’re pointing the iPhone camera at and deliver contextual assistance—like Google Lens—such as adding dates from a concert poster to your calendar or helping identify a plant. Now that the feature is visibly baked into the camera app, Apple hopes it will be easier to find and use. 此前,若要触发 Siri 的“视觉智能”(Visual Intelligence)功能,必须按下“相机控制”按钮。按下后,Siri 能够识别 iPhone 镜头所对准的内容并提供情境化辅助(类似于 Google Lens),例如将演唱会海报上的日期添加到日历,或帮助识别植物。现在,随着该功能被直观地集成到相机应用中,苹果希望用户能更轻松地发现并使用它。

This kind of visual AI assistance is a key feature of smart glasses and AI pendants with cameras, allowing users to access AI assistance with a single tap without having to explain or type anything, since the cameras do the work. Apple is reportedly working on smart glasses as well as AirPods with cameras embedded in the stem, so while this computer-vision tech is making its debut on the iPhone, it could seep into other Apple products later. 这种视觉 AI 辅助是智能眼镜和带摄像头的 AI 吊坠的核心功能,用户只需轻轻一点即可获得 AI 帮助,无需解释或输入任何内容,因为摄像头会自动完成识别工作。据报道,苹果正在研发智能眼镜以及在耳机柄中嵌入摄像头的 AirPods。因此,尽管这项计算机视觉技术目前率先在 iPhone 上亮相,但未来可能会扩展到苹果的其他产品中。

Then there are a few artificial intelligence features coming to the Photos app that can alter the final look of your photos. These include: Clean Up, Extend, and Spatial Reframe. Clean Up already exists, allowing you to remove unwanted objects from your photos. Now, it works even better thanks to Apple’s updated AI foundation models. It will do a better job of realistically filling in the image after it removes an object. 此外,照片应用(Photos app)也将迎来几项人工智能功能,可以改变照片的最终呈现效果。这些功能包括:清理(Clean Up)、扩展(Extend)和空间重构(Spatial Reframe)。“清理”功能此前已存在,允许用户从照片中移除多余物体。现在,得益于苹果更新的 AI 基础模型,该功能表现更佳,在移除物体后能更逼真地填充背景。

Extend is for those moments when you want to add a bit more space to your image. Using generative AI, if you’re a little too close to the edge of the photo and want a little breathing room, Extend can generate imagery based on what it thinks should be in the shot. Google has also added nearly identical features in its Pixel phones over the past few years. “扩展”功能适用于那些你想为照片增加更多空间的情况。如果你拍摄时离边缘太近,想要留出一点余地,该功能会利用生成式 AI,根据它认为画面中应有的内容来生成图像。过去几年里,谷歌也在其 Pixel 手机中添加了几乎相同的功能。

Finally, Apple’s Spatial Reframing feature can change a photo’s perspective. You can slightly shift the photo’s perspective by dragging your finger across the image. Apple also uses generative AI here to fill in some of the gaps from the new perspective. It’s unclear if this feature is limited to select iPhones. 最后,苹果的“空间重构”功能可以改变照片的视角。你可以通过在图像上拖动手指来轻微调整照片的透视角度。苹果同样在此处使用了生成式 AI 来填充新视角下产生的空白区域。目前尚不清楚该功能是否仅限于部分 iPhone 机型使用。
