Even though Apple seems to have lost the start in the artificial intelligence race, future iOS, iPados and macos versions will have Apple Intelligence, which promises many interesting features for productivity. If you are not aware of the latest technologies you develop or implemented by Apple on iPhone, iPad and Mac, we explain what Apple Intelligence is and what iPhone models is compatible.
Apple Intelligence is an artificial intelligence platform developed by Apple, which will have the famous ChatgPT developed by the Openai company. Based on a device processing combination and server, this technology was announced on June 10, 2024, at WWDC 2024, as a feature of the operating systems IOS 18, iPados 18 and Macos Sequoia, which will be available to the general public from 2025.

Which iPhone, iPad and Mac models will be compatible with Apple Intelligence
The Apple Intelligence technology will be available for free for all users with iPhone 15 Pro Max (A17 Pro), iPhone 15 Pro (A17 Pro), iPad Pro and iPad Air with a newer generation, MacBook Air, Mac and Mac with a newer generation. So, if you do not have the iPhone 15 PRO or newer model, you will not be able to benefit from this technology.
UPDATE: The new model, iPhone 16e It is also compatible with Apple Intelligence, which makes the new accessible technology in the range of low-cost devices.
In addition to these minimum device and operating system requirements, Apple Intelligence will not be available from the beginning for everyone. In the first phase, the artificial intelligence integrated on Apple devices will only be present in English, such as: USA, Canada and UK.
What can you do with Apple Intelligence on iPhone, iPad and Mac
Apple Intelligence is a powerful artificial intelligence platform oriented on productivity and creativity development.
Writing tools
Technology includes writing tools powered by AI, such as Rewrite and Proofread. These functions help to improve the writing of users to make it more friendly, concise or professional, similar to the AI writing functions from Grammarly. It can also be used to generate summaries, key points, tables and lists of an article or text. At the same time, as I said before, Apple will also implement the technology developed by Openai, so Chatgpt will be available as part of writing tools.
Image Playground
Apple Intelligence can also be used to generate images on iPhone, iPad and Mac via Image Playground. Similar to Dall-E from Openai, it can be used to generate images using AI, using expressions and descriptions to create an image of customizable styles, such as animation and sketch. In the Notes app, users can access Image Playground on iPad through the Image Wand instrument in the Apple Pencil palette without opening the Image PlayGround app. Also, if you like to sketch in pencil, they can be turned into pictures.
Genmoji
Using the text transformation models into the image of Apple Intelligence, users can create original genoji images through written descriptions. Users can select people from photos or videos and create genoji images to sow them. Similar to Emoji, Genmoji can be added directly to text messages and can be shared in Messages and third -party compatible applications or tapback reactions.
For example, users can choose one or more pictures and video from the photo gallery to edit through a text request. In the picture below are added colored stickers to a girl's face.
Siri review
Siri, Apple's virtual assistant, has been updated with improved capacities due to Apple Intelligence. The latest version includes an updated interface, an improved natural language processing and the option to interact through the text through a double touch of the starting bar, without activating this function in the accessibility menu. In addition, the new artificial intelligence technology adds the ability to use personal context from the activities on the device to make the conversations look more natural and fluid.
We hope that this implementation will make Siri really a virtual assistant.
Apple Intelligence adds a function called priority messages (Mail Priority), which displays urgent emails, such as the same day invitations or boarding tickets, with Summates generated by E-mails.
Photos
The Photos app from Apple includes a function of creating personalized memory movies and improved search capabilities. Users can describe a story, and Apple Intelligence selects suitable photos and videos, organizing them in a movie with a narrative story based on identified themes. Also, users can look for specific photos or videos by description and/or keywords, and Apple Intelligence can identify particular moments from video clips.
Chatgpt integration on iPhone, iPad and Mac
This I think is the most interesting feature for many users. As a result of the company's partnership with Openai, Apple Intelligence also includes a system integration with Chatgpt, allowing Siri to determine when sending certain complex users to Chatgpt. This integration at the system level is supplied by GPT-4O. Chatgpt integration is default, users being asked before any data or photos are sent to ChatGPT servers, and the IP addresses are masked when the applications are sent to the OpenAI servers. The use of ChatGPT functions is free for all users, without the need to connect, but paid subscribers can access premium functions at the system level. Apple intends to integrate other models in the future, such as gems from Google, in this system.

As we have stated in the introduction, Apple Intelligence technology is currently in the test stage, to be launched to the general public in 2025. This makes us believe that the new generation iPhone 16 Pro will be perfectly optimized for implementing artificial intelligence at the processor level.
At this time, Apple Intelligence is available in the beta of iOS 18.1 version, but it is only available on iPhone Pro 15 Max and iPhone 15 Pro for a limited number of users.
