Apple Introduces Apple Intelligence: Enhancing Siri and Email with AI at WWDC 2024

Apple's long-awaited artificial intelligence (AI) features, collectively known as Apple Intelligence, were first introduced at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024 in Cupertino, California on June 10, 2024. The suite of AI tools is designed to enhance Siri's capabilities and provide automatic email and image generation along with notification sorting.

As of now, Apple Intelligence is only available to registered Apple developers who have access to the developer beta versions of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and MacOS 18.1.

The first version of Apple Intelligence includes several notable features such as a new Siri look with a glowing edge around the phone, improved Siri functionality that can understand commands even when the speaker stumbles over their words, Siri's ability to answer troubleshooting questions about Apple products, better photos search and movie creation capabilities, and AI-generated summaries for Mail and Messages with voicemail transcriptions.

Additionally, Writing Tools – Apple's text-generation service – is also part of the first version of Apple Intelligence. However, some features like image generation, emoji generation, automated photos clean up, OpenAI ChatGPT integration, and other Siri improvements are not yet available in the developer beta.

Apple Intelligence is expected to be released to the public later this year. The 18.1 version number suggests that it will not be launched alongside new iPhone hardware which is anticipated to debut running iOS 18 in the fall.

The integration of AI with Apple's operating system has generated excitement among investors, who believe it could lead to a significant wave of upgrades in the coming years. Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan wrote in a note that this iPhone cycle is expected to remain strong for longer as AI feature sets improve in the 2025 iPhone.

Apple ‘Concerns’ Will Delay New iPhone 16 And iOS 18 Features

Forbes Magazine Janhoi McGregor Monday, 29 July 2024 00:00
  • Unique Points
    • Apple is delaying the launch of its artificial intelligence features for the iPhone 16 and iOS 18.
    • Apple Intelligence features are now expected to be available after the iPhone 16 and iOS 18 announcements in September.
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (80%)
    The article contains selective reporting as it only mentions Apple's delay in AI features and does not mention any potential delays or issues with Samsung or Google's AI features. It also uses emotional manipulation by implying that a delayed introduction of Apple's AI features could be remembered negatively by users, creating a sense of urgency and importance around the issue.
    • Apple AI will be the first proper introduction to generative AI for many iPhone users and the company will want to avoid another Apple Maps mess.
    • Despite Apple’s popularity amongst smartphone buyers, a fumbled introduction of its next-generation technology could live long in the memory of users.

Apple Stock Price to Watch as AI Features Reportedly Coming After iOS 18 Launch

Investopedia Tuesday, 30 July 2024 01:31
  • Unique Points
    • Apple's AI features will be released as part of software updates in October.
    • Apple Intelligence beta testing for developers may start this week.
    • AI technology was unveiled at WWDC 2023 with plans to roll out in late 2023 and first half of 2025.
  • Accuracy
    • Apple Intelligence was introduced at Apple’s WWDC 2024.
    • Apple shares underwent a retracement after setting a new record higher earlier in the month.
  • Deception (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it states 'The company anticipates releasing Apple Intelligence to customers as part of software updates in October, several weeks after the initial September launch of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, the report said.' The article is reporting on information from a 'report' without providing any evidence or reasoning for why this information is trustworthy. Additionally, there are some instances of inflammatory rhetoric such as 'despite the pullback' and 'the tech behemoth plans to roll out its full suite of Apple Intelligence features through iOS 18 updates towards the end of this year and in the first half of 2025.' However, these do not significantly impact the overall argument or reasoning in the article.
