Apple Intelligence: Every Feature Tested & Reviewed

Apple is taking artificial intelligence more seriously than ever, especially with its new suite of AI features called Apple Intelligence. This umbrella term covers various AI capabilities, whether they run in the cloud or on your device. For instance, Writing Tools can help generate text, and Visual Intelligence can identify objects in pictures. What's interesting is that not every feature is available on all devices; Visual Intelligence is currently an iPhone exclusive. While there's no dedicated AI chatbot yet, a conversational Siri might fill that role later. To use these features, you generally need a modern Apple device and the newest software. This includes the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max or newer, M1 iPad Air and iPad Pro or newer, and M1 MacBooks and Macs or newer. Some features also work on other Apple products, like the Apple Watch, but require a compatible core device. The good news is Apple Intelligence is entirely free with a compatible device. To use it, you'll need to toggle it on in the Settings app. You can even connect ChatGPT to Apple Intelligence for enhanced features, like Siri answering questions or generating images in the Visual Playground app. The bottom line is that Apple is integrating advanced AI directly into its ecosystem, potentially changing how you interact with your devices.
