The main focus of Apple Intelligence, a new Artificial Intelligence developed by Cupertino, is the seamless integration of devices, software, and personal context. Emphasizing privacy, personalization, and power, this system is set to debut on iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and iPadOS 18.
Apple’s AI features
Apple’s AI technology is versatile, working with language, images, and user habits. For instance, it can prioritize notifications, assist with rewriting ideas and paragraphs, as well as optimize content layout. Additionally, it enables users to generate images and cartoons, facilitating better communication in messaging apps like Messages and Mail. The Genmoji feature allows for the creation of personalized emojis to enhance conversations. Moreover, Apple’s AI has capabilities such as cleaning backgrounds in images, organizing images in the library, and creating memories with photos and videos.
Writing Tools help users feel more confident in their writing, whether they’re rearranging lecture notes, revising the shape of a blog post, or making sure an email is well written. Thanks to the Rewrite function, Apple Intelligence allows you to choose between various versions of the text that has been written by changing the tone based on the audience and the purpose. Ideal for perfecting a cover letter or adding a touch of humor and creativity to an invitation, Rewrite helps you find the right words for every occasion. The Proofread function checks grammar, lexical choice and sentence structure, also suggesting changes, explaining why, which the user can review or accept at a moment’s notice. The Summarize function allows you to summarize a passage of text and display it in the form of a conversational paragraph, list of main concepts, table or list.

With Image Playground, the user can choose between different types of concepts by categories, such as themes, costumes, accessories and locations. You can insert a caption for images, select a person from photos in your personal library and add them to an image, and choose the style you prefer.
Thanks to the Image Playground experience in Messages, the user can create fun images on the fly and receive suggestions on the best concepts to use in their conversations. For example, if a user is talking about trekking in a group chat, concepts related to their friends, their destination and their activity will appear among the suggestions, making image creation faster and more relevant.
In Notes, Image Playground can be accessed through the new Image Wand in the Apple Pencil tools palette, making notes more visually appealing. Simple sketches can be transformed into pleasing images, and the user can even select empty space to create an image from the context in the surrounding area. Image Playground is also available in apps like Keynote, Freeform, and Pages, as well as third-party apps that use the new Image Playground API.

Beyond images and messaging, Apple’s AI can also manage system actions, such as interpreting input and executing tasks like sending presentations to contacts or accessing specific content. Its integration with the system and daily routines further enhances personal assistance, providing functions to improve interactions with maps, messages, and emails. For instance, it facilitates the prioritization of messages and offers Smart Replies to manage longer email conversations more efficiently.
Siri renewed
Apple has recently updated Siri with a more natural, precise, and personalized interface. The new version features a revised icon, updated animations, and full-screen support on the edges of the device. Siri can now follow the context of conversations to create longer and more precise dialogues. In addition, a new shortcut allows users to interact with Siri via text input. One of the main innovations is Siri’s improved ability to analyze and understand on-screen content, allowing for more efficient in-app requests and actions. Going forward, Siri’s capabilities will expand by integrating with more apps, both from Apple and third-party developers. For example, users will be able to ask Siri to send photos from a specific time of the week to a contact or inquire about a contact’s flight status, with Siri integrating and processing personal data to provide tailored responses.
Apple Intelligence Privacy and Security
Apple’s AI function relies on on-device processing, which means that user data is not collected but processed locally on the device’s processor (Apple Silicon M1, M2, M3, M4, and A17 line, the iPhone 15 Pro chip). This approach ensures privacy and security for the user. The system learns from apps and routines on the device, minimizing the risk of data leaving the device. However, when necessary, power can still be obtained from the cloud through a system called Private Cloud Compute, which ensures the protection of data for contents that require greater computing power. According to Apple, data processed through Apple Silicon-based servers is not stored, and the company claims there are ways to verify the security and privacy of its systems.
With Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can flex and scale its computational capacity and draw on larger server-based models to handle more complex requests. These models run on servers with Apple chips, providing a foundation that allows Apple to ensure that data will not be retained or exposed.
Independent experts can inspect code running on Apple chip servers for privacy, and Private Cloud Compute uses encryption to ensure that iPhones, iPads, and Macs don’t communicate with a server unless their software has been publicly registered for use. ‘inspection. Apple Intelligence with Private Cloud Compute sets a new standard for privacy with AI, delivering a trusted intelligence model

Integration with ChatGPT
Siri now offers integration with ChatGPT, allowing users to utilize the OpenAI model for various functions. This feature is available for free with the GPT-4 model, and users can also access premium functions by connecting their OpenAI account for a fee. Privacy protections are in place for ChatGPT users, with obscured IP addresses and no request storage by OpenAI. Users who connect their accounts are subject to ChatGPT’s data usage policies.
When Apple Intelligence arrives
Apple has announced that the new Apple Intelligence feature will be available in beta as part of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia this fall in the United States in English. This feature will be available on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad and Mac with M1 and later, with Siri and the device language set to US English for now. Additional features, software platforms, and languages will be added over the next year. Apple Intelligence is free for users and will be updated as more information becomes available.
