Tech: Why is Apple lagging behind in AI photo removal? Even Android users will appreciate the reason..

These days, AI photo editing and object/background removal tools are becoming increasingly popular. Meanwhile, many people are raising questions on social media about whether the AI ​​photo removal feature on Apple devices works worse than even a cheap Android phone. But do you know the reason behind this? Why does the object/background removal feature on other phones work so well, while Apple's produces very poor results? The main reason for this is Apple's privacy-focused policy. Let's explore this in detail today...

Why is Apple lagging in AI photo removal?
In fact, Apple completes all its AI tasks on-device. This means that whenever a user tries to remove an object or background from a photo, the entire process is completed on their iPhone or iPad. This protects the user's data privacy. Apple has always focused on privacy. The company takes special care to ensure that users' photos or personal information do not reach other companies' servers. This is why Apple's AI photo removal feature may experience slight delays or limitations.

Why is this feature more powerful on Android?
On the other hand, many AI photo editing apps and features on the Android platform rely on server-side AI processing. Simply put, when a user edits a photo, the photo data is sent via the internet to another company's server, where an AI algorithm processes the photo and displays the results. This process is much faster, and the feature appears more powerful, but its biggest disadvantage is that user data is being transmitted to the server, which can compromise privacy.

What do tech experts say?
Experts say that Apple's on-device AI approach is very beneficial for users in the long term. While this may take more time, and the feature doesn't work as well right now, user data remains safe. Apple is constantly improving this AI feature through iOS updates. This feature may become even more powerful and faster in the future.
