Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 as the first of a new generation of models 'built from the ground up' for artificial intelligence. Some of the capabilities are shown during the keynote: text rewriting, reuse of a text from one application to another with a change of tone in the writing, creation of new emoji on demand, an improvement in the way photos are searched for from the gallery, with even more precise requests than now, creation of movies on demand with a description that draws from our media material, summaries of emails and notifications, a photo of a restaurant to Google it and make a reservation, a model of a bicycle, or an animal to get information with ChatGpt, and then an improvement in Siri's ability to converse with the user and a series of new actions it is capable of performing.
Apple's Privacy
.Many of the models on which Apple Intelligence is based run exclusively locally, Apple explained. When more computing power is needed to handle more complex queries, Private Cloud Compute moves the processing to the cloud to access a larger dataset, 'but provides the same level of privacy and security as Apple devices'.
In this way, 'user data is never stored or shared with Apple: it is only used to handle the user's request. Furthermore, when the user accesses ChatGPT via Siri or Writing Tools, built-in privacy protection systems ensure that IP addresses are obscured and OpenAI does not store requests. Users can access ChatGPT for free without having to create an account, and if they choose to link their account, ChatGPT's data usage policy will apply.
Apple Intelligence therefore relies on the latest processors developed by Cupertino, with the necessary power to be able to generate content (as we shall see, those of the iPhone 15 Pro are also fine).
When will Apple Intelligence arrive?
."This is just the beginning," said Apple's head of software, Craig Federighi. The release will be gradual with progressive software updates. The first set of Apple Intelligence features will be available in October as a beta version as part of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1; other features will be available in the following months.
