On Monday, Apple gave the first glimpse of its long-awaited iPhone AI, as reported by The Verge. It is also called Apple Intelligence.
Apple Intelligence will be a suite of features that will improve Siri, let you transcribe and record phone calls, allow you to record all your phone recordings, and develop AI-generated summaries for messages, mail, and voicemail transcriptions, along with Writing Tools and Apple’s text generation summaries. More features can be expected in the coming releases, like image and emoji generation, automated photo cleanups, and an improved Siri.
This software was released in the developer beta of iOS 18.1 for registered Apple developers. This developer program for Apple AI requires a paid subscription that costs $99 per year. Apple Intelligence will also be available in similar releases for the iPad and Mac.
Later this year, Apple AI will be released to the public, but it will not be released alongside new iPhone hardware, which is expected to be launched working on iOS 18. Even after Apple gave the first glimpse of its long-awaited iPhone AI, we may have to wait until the spring of 2025 for all the Apple AI features, as not all of them will be within the 18.1 version.
