Apple Intelligence is Apple's new suite of AI-powered features, designed to make your iPhone, iPad, and Mac smarter, more helpful, and more personalāwhile keeping your data private and secure. As Apple puts it:
"AI for the rest of us."
Let's walk through everything you can do with Apple Intelligence, how it works, and why privacy is at its core. We'll go step by step, so you don't miss a thing!
Apple Intelligence is built directly into your devicesāyour iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This means you don't need to install anything extra. It's there to help you:
"Draws on your personal context without allowing anyone else to access your personal data ā not even Apple."
Key Point:
Your device uses what it knows about you to help, but no one elseānot even Appleācan access your personal data.
Apple Intelligence brings a bunch of new features to help you in your daily life:
You can now:
Siri is getting a major upgrade!
"Discover an even more natural, integrated, capable Siri."
Apple is serious about privacy.
"Great powers come with great privacy."
Here's how Apple Intelligence keeps your data safe:
"Apple Intelligence is designed to protect your privacy at every step. It's integrated into the core of your iPhone, iPad and Mac through on-device processing. So it's aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information."
When your device needs extra computing power, it uses Private Cloud Compute:
"With groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger server-based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests for you while protecting your privacy."
In simple terms:
If your device needs help from the cloud, it only sends the minimum data needed, never stores it, and you can trust your privacy is protected.
Apple is teaming up with OpenAI to bring ChatGPT right into Siri and Writing Tools.
"With ChatGPT from OpenAI integrated into Siri and Writing Tools, you get even more expertise when it might be helpful for you ā no need to jump between tools."
You're in control:
"You control when ChatGPT is used and will be asked before any of your information is shared."
Apple is making it easy for app developers to add these new AI features to their apps:
"New App Intents, APIs and frameworks make it incredibly easy for developers to integrate system-level features like Siri, Writing Tools and Image Playground into your favourite apps."
