Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence is a personal AI system integrated with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. It combines generative models with personal context to offer highly relevant and useful insights and actions. With Apple Intelligence, tasks like writing, organizing photos, summarizing audio, and managing notifications become smarter and more intuitive. It is built with a strong emphasis on privacy, with most processing done on-device, ensuring user data remains protected. The system uses Apple's Private Cloud Compute, allowing for secure, scalable computations when needed, without compromising privacy.

Key features include advanced writing tools for refining text, enhanced search capabilities in Photos, and a new Clean Up tool that removes distractions from images. Users can also record, transcribe, and summarize audio within apps like Notes and Phone, while systemwide features like Priority Notifications and Focus Mode help users stay organized by surfacing important information. Siri has been redesigned with richer natural language understanding, contextual awareness, and deeper integration across Apple devices, making it more responsive and helpful.

Apple Intelligence initially launches in U.S. English, with expansion plans for English-speaking countries like the U.K., Canada, and Australia, followed by additional languages next year.
