Summary
Apple has introduced new AI-powered photo editing tools at WWDC 2026 that allow users to manipulate images significantly, but the company did not clearly label which photos were real versus AI-generated. This represents a shift from Apple's earlier caution about generative AI (machine learning models that can create new content), as the company now appears less concerned about how these editing capabilities might distort people's perception of reality.
