Introducing Apple Intelligence: Revolutionizing the Way You Interact with Your Devices
Apple Intelligence is a game-changing technology that adapts, corrects, and summarizes text almost anywhere you write. With Writing Tools, you can create beautifully written content across Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party apps.
Enhanced Memories Feature in Photos
The Memories feature in Photos now lets you create the movies you want to watch. Simply type a description, and you can also use natural language to find the images you want. Video search is even more powerful with the ability to search for specific moments in a clip. Plus, a cleanup tool can detect and remove distracting objects in the background without affecting the image.
Record, Transcribe, and Summarize Audio Content
With the Notes and Phone apps, you can record, transcribe, and summarize audio content. When recording is started in the Phone app while on a call, the other party will automatically receive a notification. After hanging up, Apple Intelligence will summarize the content to help you review the important points.
Stay Focused with Reduced Distraction Mode
Apple Intelligence helps you prioritize and stay in the moment by summarizing notifications from multiple apps. The new “Reduced Distraction” focus mode only shows notifications that may require immediate interaction, including “Priority Messages” in the Mail app. This feature understands the content of your email and pushes important messages to the front.
A More Natural and Integrated Siri Experience
Siri is now more natural, flexible, and integrated into the entire experience. With a new design that shines brightly and beautifully around the edge of the screen, you can access Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or CarPlay. On Mac, you can place Siri anywhere on the desktop for easy access while working.
Deeper Language Understanding and More Knowledgeable About Products
Siri can keep up with you even if you stutter, and the context of your previous request can be preserved and applied to your next request. Siri is also more knowledgeable about products, answering thousands of questions about device features and settings.
More Features Coming Soon
Apple Intelligence will gradually roll out more features later this year and in the coming months, including Image Playground, Image Wand, and the ability to create unique Genmoji designs. You’ll also be able to access ChatGPT’s wide range of world-class knowledge from the iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia experience.
A Major Step Forward for Privacy in Artificial Intelligence
Apple Intelligence is designed to protect user privacy at every stage of the process. With Private Cloud Compute, your data is not stored or shared, and independent experts can inspect the code running on the server to confirm that Apple’s privacy commitments are being met.
Availability
Apple Intelligence will be available as a free software update, with the first set of features available in beta next month as part of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. More features will be coming in the coming months, and it will be available for use on iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPads, and Macs with M1 or later chips with Siri language set to US English.
