With the September Apple “Glowtime” event around the corner, excitement is building up for the iPhone 16. Fans are counting down the days to discover what new features this iPhone will have.
While fans can't wait to see the latest design and camera upgrades, there is one rumored feature that has particularly excited everyone: Apple Intelligence.
What is Apple Intelligence?
Apple Intelligence, introduced at WWDC 2024 June, is a personal intelligence system with the power of ChatGPT to deliver incredibly useful and relevant information. This feature will be available across various Apple apps, including Mail, Messages, Pages, and Notifications.
This improved AI with ChatGPT is deeply integrated into iOS 18, using the power of Apple silicon to understand and create languages, images, and much more.
For example, using Apple Intelligence, we will be able to ask Siri to edit a photo and then insert it directly into a text message. This will make Siri smoother to use and easier to interact with.
Why Are We So Excited About It?
Enhanced Writing and Communication
Apple Intelligence will bring system-wide writing tools to help us rewrite, proofread, and summarise texts. It will help no matter what we are doing, including writing an email, a creative story, or an argument.
These tools won't only save time but also help communicate ideas more clearly and effectively. Whether a student, a professional, or someone who needs to improve their writing, Apple Intelligence will be a great asset.
Smarter Notifications
With priority notifications and summaries, we will quickly be able to understand what messages are truly important and need immediate attention. This system will prioritize notifications according to their urgency and relevance so we don't miss anything critical.
For example, if there is a long discussion in the friends group about a trip, Apple Intelligence will create a summary highlighting the most essential points.
Powerful Image Creation
Image Playground is another powerful feature of Apple Intelligence that will allow us to be as creative as we want. With just a few taps, we'll be able to create unique and personalized images as per our imagination.
This feature will be extremely easy to use as it will integrate seamlessly into various apps, including messages. For example, when texting someone about a beach trip, the Image Playground might suggest something relatable to create a relevant image.
Express with Genmoji’s
This new ChatGPT-powered AI feature will take emojis to an entirely new level. We'll be allowed to create original Genmojis to express ourselves by simply typing a description.
We'll be able to create anyone’s Genmoji using their photos and easily add them to messages, as well as share them separately as a sticker or as a reaction in the tap back.
Enhanced Photos Experience
Searching and organizing photos and videos will be much easier with Apple Intelligence. A natural language search feature will be added, allowing us to search for specific images and videos like “XYZ dressed up in an Indian attire.”
Apart from this, Apple Intelligence will also make it easy to find specific moments in videos and make photos look even better with a new Clean Up tool. Both these will prove to be essential features, allowing us to search exact phrases within videos and create cleaner photos.
A More Intelligent Siri
With everything being integrated with Apple Intelligence, how can the most important aspect of iPhones, “Siri,” be left behind? Siri will be able to understand conversations with greater depth and perform various tasks.
Siri will also be able to follow along if we stumble over words and still understand the conversation. We’ll also be able to type to Siri and switch between text and voice communication, whatever feels correct.
New Privacy Standard in AI
Apple is Apple, and no matter what features they add, protecting our privacy is their top concern. Apple Intelligence will bring Private Cloud Compute to keep our data secure and private even while using cloud-based features.
This approach towards privacy is an exceptional technology that extends the security of our Apple devices into the cloud. It easily allows the AI to access and process saved data on Apple silicon servers and ensure they are private and secure at all times.
Furthermore, we expect several other features will be revealed once the iPhone 16 launches. Day by day, as we get closer to the “Glowtime” event, the excitement of seeing how Apple Intelligence will make our lives easier, more productive, and enjoyable increases.
