Apple Intelligence Set to Transform iPhone, iPad, and Mac Experiences Starting Next Month
Apple Intelligence Set to Transform iPhone, iPad, and Mac Experiences Starting Next Month
Next month, Apple will introduce its groundbreaking Apple Intelligence system with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 updates. This advanced system merges generative models with personal context to offer highly relevant and useful features.
What Apple Intelligence Brings to the Table
Apple Intelligence is set to enhance how we interact with our devices. Here’s a preview of the features launching next month:
- Writing Tools: Refine your writing with enhanced options for rewriting, proofreading, and summarising text across Mail, Notes, Pages, and other apps.
- Photos: Create custom movies by typing descriptions, search for specific moments in videos, and use the Clean Up tool to remove unwanted background elements from your photos.
- Notes and Phone: Record, transcribe, and summarise audio effortlessly. Recording is flagged to all participants during phone calls, and a summary of critical points is generated once the call ends.
- Notifications: Manage notifications better with summarised updates across apps, a new Focus mode to reduce interruptions, and Priority Messages in Mail to highlight urgent emails. Smart Reply and automatic question identification enhance email interactions.
Siri Gets a Major Upgrade
Siri now offers a more natural and flexible experience. The redesigned Siri features a glowing light on iPhone, iPad, and CarPlay, and on Mac, it can be placed anywhere on your desktop for easy access. Users can now interact with Siri via text or voice, and it has improved contextual understanding, allowing it to follow along if you stumble over your words. Siri also provides detailed answers about Apple device features and performs more actions based on your personal context.
Exciting Features Coming Later This Year
Apple Intelligence will continue to evolve with new features:
- Image Playground: Create playful images quickly.
- Image Wand: Turn rough sketches into polished images.
- Genmoji: Craft unique emojis from text descriptions or photos.
- Enhanced Siri: Siri will perform even more actions and offer tailored intelligence based on your context. Users will also gain access to ChatGPT’s extensive knowledge and capabilities directly from iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
Privacy at the Core
Apple Intelligence is designed with privacy as a top priority. Most processing occurs directly on your device, while Private Cloud Compute ensures that even more complex tasks are handled securely. Independent experts regularly review Apple’s code to uphold this privacy commitment. Users accessing ChatGPT through Siri or Writing Tools will benefit from privacy protections, including obscured IP addresses and no storage of requests by OpenAI. ChatGPT can be used for free without creating an account, though data-use policies apply for linked accounts.
Availability
Apple Intelligence will be available as a free update starting next month with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. It will be compatible with iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad and Mac with M1 chips or later. Additional languages and devices will be supported over the next year.

Joanne Carter, creator of the world’s most popular mobile photography and art website— TheAppWhisperer.com— TheAppWhisperer platform has been a pivotal cyberspace for mobile artists of all abilities to learn about, to explore, to celebrate and to share mobile artworks. Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built. In her words, “We all have the potential to remove ourselves from the centre of any circle and to expand a sphere of compassion outward; to include everyone interested in mobile art, ensuring every artist is within reach”, she has said. Promotion of mobile artists and the art form as a primary medium in today’s art world, has become her life’s focus. She has presented lectures bolstering mobile artists and their art from as far away as the Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea to closer to her home in the UK at Focus on Imaging. Her experience as a jurist for mobile art competitions includes: Portugal, Canada, US, S Korea, UK and Italy. And her travels pioneering the breadth of mobile art includes key events in: Frankfurt, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Paris, Brazil, London. Pioneering the world’s first mobile art online gallery - TheAppWhispererPrintSales.com has extended her reach even further, shipping from London, UK to clients in the US, Europe and The Far East to a global group of collectors looking for exclusive art to hang in their homes and offices. The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art. Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine.
