With the iPhone 16 series out and its accompanying iOS 18 release upon us, all eyes are on Apple’s AI feature set. And among all the new AI additions, object removal from images is shaping up to be one of the highlights.

But with all the hype around Apple’s on-device AI and general proclivity to polish a feature before shipping, I was curious to see if the results matched up. So, I did the obvious and put it to the test.
