With iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, that's changing. You can try the developer betas now (though you probably shouldn't; the public betas are arriving in July), and Apple says the full releases will appear later in the year (most likely around September). Image generation is something both ChatGPT and Gemini have been steadily improving, to the point where some generations are difficult to distinguish from real photos. So how does Apple's new and improved Image Playground compare?
Here's what Image Playground can do now
There's more control over your images, too. You can submit a photo as part of a starting prompt, and you can choose between square, portrait, and landscape orientations for your picture—these options weren't available before. If you want to transport your pet dog to the jungle, that's possible now.

Based on my testing, it all works well, and produces results that look impressive and consistent. I managed to put a cartoon-style cat in a street, and then change the cat's color without affecting the background.

You can find more AI image tools in the Photos app, where you can apply edits similar to those possible in Image Playground to whatever's in your photo library.
Image Playground versus the competition
Image Playground is much better—no doubt thanks to a boost from Gemini—but even still, the images aren't quite up to the very high bar that Gemini and ChatGPT have set now. You can see below how my request for "a photorealistic image of a small, ancient-looking spaceship floating between the stars, with an Earth-like planet behind it" was interpreted by Image Playground (left), Gemini (center), and ChatGPT (right).

Again, all these attempts are good, but Gemini (center) and ChatGPT (right) add extra layers of verisimilitude in terms of color, angle, and texture (though Gemini seems to have created two shorelines).

These are Photoshop-level edits that used to take me hours, but can now be completed in seconds. It's truly impressive. Gemini and ChatGPT still have the edge in terms of quality, but Image Playground comes built into billions of Apple devices. It's now good enough that many users will likely choose not to switch to something else when they need to generate an image with AI, which might make all the difference.
