The capability to isolate a subject from its surroundings within an image directly on Apple’s mobile operating system represents a significant advancement in image manipulation. For example, a user can select a portrait photograph and, with a long press, automatically extract the person, creating a cutout that can be copied and pasted into other applications.
This feature streamlines content creation workflows, eliminating the need for third-party applications or complex image editing software for basic tasks. Its integration within the core iOS ecosystem provides accessibility and efficiency for a broad range of users. The evolution of this functionality reflects Apple’s commitment to simplifying complex tasks through intuitive design.
