What BBN said about it

  1. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentApple Intelligence in iOS twenty-seven adds Extend and Reframe to Photos, so your iPhone can generate new background beyond the borders of the shot you actually took.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo I can cut off my friend's head at the party and the phone just grows the rest of the room? I love it.

  3. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe phone isn't recovering anything. It's guessing what was out there, and a guess is the polite word for making things up.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA good guess, though. A pretty guess.

  5. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentSo your wedding album gets guests who never came, and nobody can tell which half of the dance floor was real.
