Apple Leading The AI Race With Cutting-Edge Apple Intelligence
Ever since the announcement from Google and Microsoft, where they have been integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their OS (Android and Windows OS), all eyes have been on Apple, anticipating their every move in the AI race. And we have finally witnessed how Apple Intelligence, Apple’s newest plans took shape in bringing generative AI to its own products at Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024!
Apple is revolutionizing the way we interact with technology by aiming to make iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia more intuitive, personalised, and capable than ever! With sophisticated natural language processing, contextual understanding, and image recognition, Apple Intelligence has been introduced to enhance everyday tasks, making them more seamless and efficient!
Enhanced Capabilities With Apple Intelligence
Let’s look into how Apple Intelligence is going to enhance user experience and the significant role it plays in the future of AI on mobile devices.
ChatGPT Integrations

One powerful move Apple has made is its OpenAI integration with writing tools and Siri. Apple Intelligence allows Siri to access ChatGPT to complete more complex queries and tasks. Even if you ask Siri to plan a “5-course meal with a dish for each taste bud”, Siri can utilise ChatGPT to provide a detailed and creative meal plan!
Apple’s Siri will be able to tap into ChatGPT when sending in any questions, documents or photos to give users a specific answer to a specific question too. For instance, if you snap a photo of your wall to ask for suggestions on decorations, Siri will use ChatGPT to give a personalised answer.
Writing tools such as Proofread and Rewrite will also benefit from ChatGPT’s advanced AI, providing more accurate and context-aware suggestions. With this, you can write or proofread texts with the right tone and wordings, or even summarise selected texts and paragraphs.
Siri Enhancements

Apple’s Siri is now even more capable than ever, allowing for advanced natural language processing capabilities. Siri can now understand and process natural language for more complex queries and tasks. This improves the quality and depth of responses that allows Siri to provide more human-like interactions. This means that Siri can provide more relevant and precise responses even if users stumble over their words.
For example, if you ask Siri to “Remind me to call Mom when I get home,” and later ask, “What was that reminder I set earlier?” Siri will understand the context and provide the correct information. This contextual understanding enhances Siri’s usability, making it a more reliable and intuitive assistant.
With the upcoming on-screen awareness, Siri can now take action based on what’s on your phone screen. You can ask Siri to take action within the app, such as saving an event’s date to calendar after receiving it in text messages, without the hassle of switching between apps!
Writing Tool For Communication & Focus

Apple has introduce powerful intelligent writing tools that enhances productivity and creativity. Advanced language capabilities offer features like Proofread, Rewrite, and Smart Reply, allowing users to generate high-quality text effortlessly. You can set the tone you need for your texts, and generate suggestions for the perfect response you need.
The Notes or Phone apps can also capture audio recordings and transcripts during a long meeting or lectures. With Apple Intelligence, these transcripts can be summarised for you so that you can gain important information at a glance.
With Apple Intelligence, ‘Reduce Interruption’ focus mode is able to understand the context of texts and emails better. This feature will prioritise notifications that need immediate attention to display on users’ Notification centre.
The integration of these tools into third-party apps further extends their utility, making communication smoother and more efficient. With the ability to summarize content, prioritize messages, and provide context-aware suggestions, these writing tools set a new standard for intelligent text creation.
Intelligent Photo & Video Management

Due to the advancement in natural language processing, Apple Intelligence is as powerful as ever in photo search and editing. Apple intelligence allows users to describe what they are looking for in photo albums, such as “Food images during my trip to Croatia” or “Boomerangs of me in red outfit” and it will locate the exact images or videos that match the description.
Memory creation is also as easy as ever as all users need to do is type the description of the story they want to create without scrolling through countless thumbnails.
The Clean Up tool, which is a gamechanger for editing prospects, uses Apple Intelligence’s advanced image recognition to identify and remove distracting objects from the background of photos. This tool ensures that edits are precise and that the main subject of the photo remains untouched, providing a professional level of photo editing directly on the iPhone.
Generative Visuals With Image Playground

With this innovative aspect of Apple intelligence, users can make visual communication more engaging and creative. Users can generate more fun and personalised emojis with Genmoji during conversations. Image playground can also suggest images based on concepts related to ongoing conversations, enabling users to create relevant and entertaining visuals.
Users can also turn rough sketches into polished images and create visuals from surrounding context in the Notes app. It makes notes more engaging and easier to understand, especially for visual learners and those who use notes for presentations.
Developer's Opportunity
Apple opens up a wide range of possibilities for developers with its advanced Apple Intelligence features. The introduction of New App Intents, APIs and frameworks makes it easier for developers to integrate intelligent features such as Siri, Writing Tools and Image Playground into the apps.
