Apple is reportedly working on an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered photo editing feature that could be revealed soon. The Cupertino-based tech giant will hold a Let Loose event on Tuesday, where it is expected to unveil new iPad Air and iPad Pro models, as well as a new Apple Pencil. It is said that during the event, the company may also present its new AI features and then unveil them later in 2024. Notably, Apple researchers also published a paper on an AI model capable of editing images. According to a report by AppleInsider Apple is working on an AI-powered feature called “Clean” that it says offers “Photoshop-level editing capabilities” to users. Citing people familiar with the matter, the report claims that the feature is being tested internally and is designed for the built-in Photos app. Additionally, it states that the feature is planned for macOS 15, but does not specify whether it will also be available in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18.

As for its function, the function is said to remove background objects from a part of the image, which can be selected with the Brush tool. A similar tool is also available on Google Pixel smartphones.
