Apple Intelligence is essentially a hip brand name for Apple's new focus on AI, caused by the enormous success of the chatgpt.
Here is a look at some of the best functions of Apple Intelligence, which come to the UK via the new iOS 18.2 operating system.
Chatgpt-Siri Integration
The majority of Apple Intelligence is certainly the integration of OpenAi's huge chatbot chatgpt with Siri, the built -in virtual assistant from Apple.
With better 'language consumption options' made possible by chatgpt, Siri will help you with multiple apps and “speed up daily tasks,” Apple said.
You can hold down on the side button to activate Siri as normal, but with Chatgpt behind it, Siri can answer thousands of questions about how you can do something 'that it could not be done before.
iOS 18 users are asked before questions are sent to Chatgpt, together with documents or photos, and Siri then presents the answer
For example, you could say: 'Play that podcast that Jamie has recommended' and Siri will find and play the episode without the user having to remember whether it was mentioned in a text or an e -mail.
Or you could ask: “When is Mama's escape landing?” And Siri will find the flight details and refer them with real -time flight savings to give an arrival time.
Ai-generated emoji
If you can never fully find the emoji you are looking for during chat conversations, Apple has the answer.
One of the more fun parts of Apple Intelligence is AI-generated Emoji, who has called Apple 'Genmoji' (a mix of 'generated' and 'emoji').
In the Messages app you can type a brief description of the emoji you want – such as 'smiley relaxing -bearing cucumbers' or 'squirrel DJ'.

Similar to AI tools that only need a few words to make strange artworks, Genmoji returns from that some fast AI-generated approach to what you had in mind.
If you don't like what the AI has made for you, there are a few backup options that you can choose from.
Tidy up
Apple's clean-up tool For the photos of the photos, ultra-helling operations for photos without meaningful signs that the Snap has been tampered with in any way.
This allows users to remove 'distracting objects' from the background of a photo – for example, a photo -bobbin in the background of a family bang.
Cleaning up is very similar to Google's photo editing technology 'Magic Eraser' for its pixel telephones, heavily promoted in Google advertisements in recent years.

But the technology has been described by some as 'Orwellian' because it can distort reality and 'creates a false memory'.
Referring to cleaning up, a commentator said that it can “be abused” because “removing evidence makes it easy”.
Image playground
AI also feeds a new tool for generating images called 'Image Playground', which is available on multiple apps, including messages and pages.
With Image Playground, users can make images in a few seconds, choose from three styles – 'Animation', 'Illustration' and 'Sketch'.

A promo image seems to show a photo of a person converted into a 3D Avatar in video game style that carries a space suit in the 'Animation' setting.
Just like Genmoji, this 'exciting' Image Creation tool will help iPhone owners to communicate and express themselves in new ways, “says the company.
Film memories
The huge media storage options of an iPhone means that it is always tempting to look back through your photos and video for an outburst of nostalgia.
Apple recognizes this and has devised 'Movie Memories', an AI tool that makes the perfect home film to view on your device.
By typing a short description – for example 'last summer in our garden' – the AI can search your media library and arrange photos and clips in a film 'with its own narrative arch'.
Film memories choose the best photos and videos based on the description of a user and controls it all in a film with his own narrative arch
And because no film is so good without a little music, you get song suggestions from Apple Music to adjust the memory.
Again, Apple emphasizes the privacy aspect of using an AI to search through your private life.
“As with all Apple Intelligence functions, user photos and videos are kept private on device and are not shared with Apple or someone else,” says it.
AI Writing Tools
The use of AI to make your writing extra brief is not new – for example, Microsoft's Copilot AI makes first concepts and suggests operations in Word.
But now Apple jumps on the bandwagon with its own AI-driven writing aids.
The technology will rewrite, test reading and summarize text on multiple apps, including e-mail, notes and pages, as well as some third-party apps.
“Whether it is about cleaning up class notes, ensuring that a blog post reads just right, or ensure that an e -mail is perfectly manufactured, writing tools help users more confidence in their writing,” says the company.
