Apple Intelligence: Complete Guide to Apple’s New AI Features

Apple is rolling out its most significant AI features yet across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Here's what Apple Intelligence brings to your devices and how to start using it today.

Writing Tools Everywhere

Apple Intelligence adds AI writing assistance system-wide. In any text field, you can now rewrite text in different tones, proofread for errors, or summarize long content. It works in Mail, Notes, Messages, and third-party apps.

Smarter Siri

Siri gets a major upgrade with better natural language understanding. You can now speak more conversationally, and Siri maintains context across follow-up questions. Integration with ChatGPT handles complex queries Siri can't answer directly.

Image Playground

Create custom images in seconds using text descriptions. Generate illustrations for messages, create unique artwork, or design custom emoji. The feature prioritizes a fun, cartoonish style rather than photorealism.

Privacy First

True to Apple's approach, most Apple Intelligence features run entirely on-device. Your data doesn't leave your iPhone. For features requiring cloud processing, Apple uses “Private Cloud Compute” with strong privacy guarantees.

Requirements: iPhone 15 Pro or newer, iPad with M1 chip or newer, Mac with M1 chip or newer.
