Apple Intelligence is an artificial intelligence (AI) system developed by the company specifically for devices such as iPhones, iPads, and Macs. It combines AI models generated on the device with those provided by servers.
Some notable features of Apple Intelligence include Writing Tools, which helps users write, proofread, or edit text anywhere, such as Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party applications.
Apple Intelligence also includes the biggest update ever for Siri. As a result, the virtual assistant can now recognize context, providing more natural and varied responses. Users can also ask Siri to perform a variety of actions.
Furthermore, iOS 18.1 is the first operating system version where Apple supports call recording on phones. Users can select the record button in the upper left corner of the screen when a call is made.
