5 iPhone apps for enhancing your old blurry photos with AI

If your pics aren’t quite as sharp or clear as you’d like them to be, you probably wish something existed that could fix that via artificial intelligence (AI). After all, not everybody is a top-tier photo editor with access to top-tier photo editing software.

Thankfully, it’s the 2020s, and you have access to plenty of easy photo editing applications not named Adobe Photoshop, if you know where to look. And even better: you don’t even have to look, because we did that for you. Here are five apps that can enhance your photos with AI.
