Because of the advanced computing resources necessary to properly power these features, Apple Intelligence is limited to a select number of modern devices:

iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, and iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max
iPads with M1, M2, or M4 chip
Macs with M1, M2, or M3 chip
If you buy any of the new iPhone 16 models, you’ll be set for Apple Intelligence. But if not, the only iPhones that will support these new AI features are last year’s 15 Pro models.

## Core Features and Implementation

Apple Intelligence isn't positioned as a separate product but rather as a sophisticated enhancement to existing Apple services. The platform introduces several key features:

- **Writing Tools**: An LLM-powered system integrated across Mail, Messages, Pages, and Notifications, offering capabilities like text summarization, proofreading, and context-aware message composition.
- **Image Generation**: Including custom emoji creation (Genmojis) and a dedicated [image](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-image) Playground app for creating shareable visual content.
- **Enhanced Siri**: A significant upgrade to Apple's virtual assistant, featuring deeper system integration and cross-app functionality, marked by a subtle glowing edge interface rather than the traditional icon.

There are five key pillars of Apple Intelligence that, in combination, distinguish it from other AI (artificial intelligence) tools that already exist.

* Powerful: Capable of offering truly useful help
* Intuitive: Easy to use and accessible
* Integrated: Baked into the core of your devices
* Personal: Understands your personal context
* Private: Built from the ground up for privacy

## [Market](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-market) Positioning

Apple's entry into the AI [space](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-space) reflects its traditional approach to new [technologies](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-technology): methodical, integrated, and focused on practical user benefits. By branding it as "AI for the rest of us," Apple positions its offering as a more accessible and practical implementation of artificial intelligence, emphasizing seamless integration over standalone features.

The platform represents a significant step forward in Apple's AI strategy, balancing innovation with practicality while maintaining its commitment to privacy and user experience. As the platform continues to evolve with future updates and partnerships, it may well define a new standard for consumer AI integration in everyday computing.

## Third-Party Integration

A notable aspect of Apple Intelligence is its integration with OpenAI's [ChatGPT](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-chatgpt), available in version 18.2. This [partnership](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-partnership) provides:
- Supplementary knowledge base for Siri
- Enhanced writing tools through the Compose feature
- Free access to basic ChatGPT features, with premium features available for paid ChatGPT subscribers
- Future plans to integrate additional AI services, with [Google Gemini](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-google-gemini) likely next in line

Apple believes no one else has an AI offering that can check all these boxes—a claim that certainly seems true.

The goal of Apple Intelligence? Tim Cook put it well in his introduction: “to make your most personal products even more useful and delightful.”

## What is Apple Intelligence? Here’s everything the iPhone 16’s AI can do

Apple Intelligence is a new suite of AI features coming to iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 on compatible devices—including the new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro. Here is everything you should know about Apple Intelligence, including the features it will bring to your iPhone, Mac, and iPad when it launches.

## Hardware Requirements and Availability

The platform will be available exclusively on newer Apple devices with advanced processing capabilities:
- [iPhone](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-iphone) 16 (all models)
- iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max (A17 Pro)
- iPad Pro and Air (M1 and later)
- Mac devices with M1 chips or newer
- iPad mini with A17 or later

## Technical Architecture and [privacy](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-privacy)

Apple has adopted a unique "small-model, bespoke approach" to AI implementation, focusing on task-specific datasets rather than general-purpose models. This strategy enables:
- On-device processing for many tasks
- Private [cloud](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-cloud) Compute for more complex operations
- Seamless switching between local and cloud processing
- Enhanced privacy protection through Apple Silicon-powered remote [servers](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-server-computer)

# [Apple](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-apple-inc) Intelligence: A Pragmatic Approach to AI Integration

After [months](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-month) of anticipation, [Apple](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-apple-company) has finally unveiled its strategic entry into the [artificial intelligence](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-artificial-intelligence) arena with Apple Intelligence (AI), marking a characteristically methodical approach that focuses on practical integration rather than standalone [features](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-feature). Set for release in late October 2024, this new platform represents Apple's distinctive vision for AI implementation across its [ecosystem](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-ecosystem-digital).

## Rollout Strategy and Localization

The initial release will come through iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, with additional features arriving in version 18.2. The platform launched first in U.S. English, followed by [support](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-support-technical-analysis) for other English variants (Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, South African, and UK). Further [language](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-language) support, including Chinese, French, German, and others, is planned for 2025, though regulatory challenges may affect availability in [China](https://inleo.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-china) and the EU.

Apple Intelligence is Apple’s unique branding for its suite of AI features debuting later this year, starting with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1.

Those first AI releases won’t launch until October, and additional features will arrive later in the year and into 2025.

Craig Federighi summed up Apple Intelligence this way during the WWDC keynote:

>Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that puts powerful generative models right at the core of your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Is OpenAI breaking U.S. copyright law? A former employee of the company says yes.

A former researcher at the OpenAI has come out against the company’s business model, writing, in a personal blog, that he believes the company is not complying with U.S. copyright law. That makes him one of a growing chorus of voices that sees the tech giant’s data-hoovering business as based on shaky (if not plainly illegitimate) legal ground.
