Apple Introduces “Apple Intelligence”

Four months after unveiling Apple Intelligence, the company’s generative AI offer is finally rolling out in public form. The platform will arrive on an unspecified date next week, as part of the public versions of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. Pieces of Apple Intelligence have been available to those running the developer beta versions of the aforementioned operating systems. These include integrated writing tools, image cleanup, article summaries, and a typing input for the redesigned Siri experience. Apple began rolling out the developer versions of iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2. These updates will bring an additional list of Apple Intelligence updates, including Genmoji, Image Playground, Visual Intelligence, Image Wand, and ChatGPT integration. A limited number of devices will be capable of running the generative AI features, a fact that Apple chalks up to hardware limitations. Apple Intelligence requires one of the following: iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, all iPhone 16 models, iPads with an A17 Pro chip (including the new iPad Mini) or M1 and later, or a Mac with an M1 or later.
