Artificial Analysis ran Apple's ADM 3 Cloud — the AI behind iPhone photo editing — through its arena: #42 on AA-Image-Editing v2.1 and only #85 on AA-Image-T2I v2.1.

The radar chart shows large gaps to the use-case frontier: closest in Retail & Ecommerce (-248 ELO), worst in Live-Action Film (-417); Consumer sits at -315.

In side-by-sides, it trails Ideogram 3.0, Muse Image and Google's Nano Banana 2.1 on physics-heavy and multi-constraint prompts — failing to make a canary look soaking wet or to keep a landscape consistent across a four-seasons strip.
