APPLE OVERHAULS RAW PHOTO PROCESSING WITH IOS 27, SHOWCASES IMPRESSIVE RESULTS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple is introducing RAW 9 in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, its biggest upgrade yet to the system-level RAW image processing engine. Powered by on-device machine learning and the Apple Neural Engine, RAW 9 combines demosaicing and noise reduction to deliver sharper details, more accurate colors, and significantly better low-light performance—even when reprocessing older RAW photos from nearly 800 supported camera models.
