Apple Inc. is planning to embed artificial intelligence more deeply into the iPhone’s camera app, adding a new Siri mode alongside the standard photo and video options in its upcoming iOS 27 operating system.

As part of the change, the company will move its Visual Intelligence feature — currently tied to the Camera Control button — into the camera app itself, according to people with knowledge of the plan. That will make it more prominent within the iPhone interface.
