After countless rumors, Apple has finally revealed how it will use AI to upgrade its iPhones.
Apple, maximum US smartphone maker Apple held its annual Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, at which it unveiled “Apple Intelligence” — AI for iPhones.

Apple’s new AI will upgrade Siri, allowing the voice assistant to work within apps to perform tasks. For example, Siri will soon be able to search photos, find a picture of your driver’s license, extract the number, and enter it into a web form.
Another new feature, Genmoji, will allow iPhone users to generate emoji characters from prompts written on the phone’s keyboard.
“What’s really unique about Apple Intelligence is that it understands your personal context,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering.
For one thing, Apple’s new AI can rank notifications on the lock screen to minimize distractions and prioritise high-priority notifications.
According to Apple, ChatGPT on iPhone will be able to answer questions that Siri can’t answer, while keeping user information and questions private.

Federighi said Apple’s new private cloud computing protections for AI “set a whole new standard for privacy.”
Under this standard, Apple will process AI requests locally on the device as much as possible and send only relevant data to servers it has built.
Apple says it never stores the data.
This marks the first time Apple has announced what CEO Tim Cook called “significant new intelligence capabilities,” but the company is already making internal improvements to one product lineup to support AI.
In May, Apple unveiled its all-new M4 chip, which Tim Millett, Apple’s vice president of platform architecture, called “a very powerful chip for AI.”

iOS 18 will also let iPhone users customize their home screens with new colors and arrange apps in new locations on the screen.
