How Apple (AAPL) Plans to Turn the iPhone Camera into an AI Tool - TipRanks
Apple is turning every iPhone camera into an AI workstation. iOS 27 brings Siri-powered Visual Intelligence and AI photo editing to 2 billion devices.
Why it matters
Apple is embedding AI capabilities directly into its core hardware (iPhone camera) rather than bolting on a separate AI layer.
