Adobe has unveiled a redesigned Firefly AI studio entering private beta that merges image generation and editing into a single interface. The update introduces persistent context so the AI remembers your creative history across projects, alongside reusable assets and organized workflows. The move positions Firefly as a cohesive creative workspace rather than a standalone generation tool.
Apple announced improvements to Image Playground at WWDC 2026, positioning the iPhone’s built-in AI image generator as a more capable tool. The update emphasizes natural-language photo transformations, multi-person image use, flexible output dimensions, and integrations across lock screens, iMessage backgrounds, and contact posters. TechCrunch has not tested it yet, but the presentation suggests Apple Intelligence apps may become more practical.
