Apple's Reframe: A Moment That Never Was

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Yesterday’s WWDC ‘26 keynote brought the usual slew of product updates and AI features. Most of the online discourse in my bubble has fixated on Siri AI, but I want to focus on something quieter that Apple demoed for the Photos app: a feature it calls Spatial Reframing or Reframe for short. Linked YouTube video is timestamped. Here is a press release with demo shots.

It is a spatial editing feature that lets you change the angle of a photo you have already taken. If your subject was not looking directly at the lens, you can seemingly “correct” that after the fact. Say you have a photo of a dog under an arch and the framing is not quite symmetrical. You wish you had captured it from a slightly better angle. Now you can “fix” that in post.

John Ternus Named Apple CEO, Succeeds Tim Cook

Unicorn Computer doing the Lord’s work: a papal conclave parody for the Tim Cook succession story that’s been doing the rounds.

A thin column of white smoke was seen rising from the central courtyard of Apple Park shortly before 9 a.m. on Monday. Minutes later, Apple confirmed that hardware chief John Ternus would replace Tim Cook as chief executive, effective immediately.

“It’s my turn, to think different.” Ternus 1:1.

Animoji and a Toddler

This is just too cute and funny.

Finally upgraded from my 6S to iPhone X, which shipped with Animoji. Few animated characters that mirror your face in real time using the TrueDepth camera.

I showed it to my toddler. She just saw a cat that copied her face, and completely lost it.

Few minutes later she found the panda.
