What is ‘Apple Intelligence’, And How Smart Is The Soon-To-Be-Released iPhone 16?
Everything you need to know about the AI features in the hotly anticipated new iPhone…
Next week, Apple is set to launch its most innovative iPhone yet – the iPhone 16, which introduces a major new feature: Apple Intelligence. This AI integration represents Apple's most notable step into artificial intelligence, aiming to change the way users interact with their devices.
Apple Intelligence will be gradually implemented across the iPhone 16, iPads, and Macs, integrating AI capabilities throughout the Apple ecosystem.
But what is Apple Intelligence, how might it change the way we use our devices? And could Genmojis become a new way for brands to connect with their audiences?...
Firstly, what is Apple Intelligence?
Apple Intelligence is Apple’s new AI system, built to enhances the iPhone's core functionality with a suite of advanced features designed to make everyday tasks easier, more intuitive, and a lot smarter.
Leveraging Apple’s own technology combined with tools from OpenAI, Apple Intelligence can handle various tasks directly on your device or offload them securely to the cloud, depending on the complexity.
The AI integration isn’t just about flashy gimmicks; it’s about improving core applications and making the phone feel like a true personal assistant.
The iPhone 16 was unveiled during Apple's biggest release event of the year and is set to hit the shelves shortly. Apple Intelligence will be rolled out gradually over the next few months.
Five Apple Intelligence features we can’t wait to bite into…
- Writing Tools
One of the standout features of Apple Intelligence is its suite of on-device writing tools, which are designed to enhance the quality and tone of your writing across various apps. Whether you’re drafting an email in Mail, jotting down notes, or writing up a report in Pages, these AI-powered tools can help you rewrite, proofread, and summarise text effortlessly.
Imagine being able to rewrite hastily typed notes into a polished invitation or adjusting the tone of a message to make it sound just right for your audience. Apple Intelligence brings all of this to your fingertips, providing a sophisticated writing assistant that’s always on hand.
- Photo Editing
While Apple hasn’t ventured into full-blown AI image generation like some of its competitors, the iPhone 16’s new photo-editing tools are still impressive.
The Clean Up tool allows users to perform ultra-clean edits on their images, like removing unwanted objects or distracting elements in the background with just a few taps. This feature promises seamless results that blend naturally, sparing you the time and hassle of manual editing.
- Memory Movies
One of the most exciting features of Apple Intelligence is the new Memory Movies. By simply describing what you want—like “holiday at the beach, sunset moments”—Apple Intelligence will select the most relevant photos and videos, arranging them into a beautifully crafted movie complete with its own narrative arc.
This feature makes curating and sharing your memories not just effortless but genuinely enjoyable, turning everyday moments into personalised mini films.
- Summarised Notifications
In the age of information overload, Apple Intelligence will introduce summarised notifications, a feature designed to help you from getting distracted when those alerts go off.
This AI-driven function can group, condense, and present notifications in a more digestible format, highlighting the most important information and minimising unnecessary procrastination.
- Improved Siri
Siri is getting smarter, and it’s about time! With Apple Intelligence, Siri can do more than ever before. From better understanding natural language commands to gaining more control over apps, Siri’s evolution into a true AI assistant is here.
Whether you’re setting reminders, sending texts, or controlling smart home devices, Siri’s improved capabilities will make interactions smoother, faster, and more intuitive.
The Hotly Anticipated ‘Genmoji’: A Game-Changer for Brands?
Coming soon, is the update we’re most excited about - Genmojis. Predicted to redefine how we express ourselves digitally, Genmoji combines the creativity of AI with the personalisation of emojis.
By simply typing a description, Apple Intelligence can generate custom Genmojis tailored to your style. Want a Genmoji of your best friend or family member? Upload a photo, and Apple Intelligence will create a lifelike emoji, complete with unique traits and expressions.
This isn’t just a fun new feature allowing you to create DJ-ing dolphins or raccoons in a race car— Genmojis could be a groundbreaking tool for brands.
Imagine small businesses creating bespoke Genmojis that perfectly encapsulate their brand’s identity, products, or services. For example, a coffee shop could generate a unique coffee cup Genmoji to engage with customers on social media, or a fitness brand could create a series of motivational Genmojis to share in their marketing campaigns.
Genmojis offer a creative new way for brands to engage with their audiences, turning interactions into more personalised, memorable experiences. This could open up a whole new world of marketing opportunities, from interactive competitions to branded Genmoji merchandise that fans can’t wait to get their hands on.
A New Era of Personalization and Creativity
Apple Intelligence and the forthcoming Genmoji represent a shift towards smarter, more personalised tech.
With Apple Intelligence at the core of the iPhone 16, everyday tasks will become seamless, and the possibilities for creativity will expand.
In the coming months, as more features are rolled out, we ‘re excited to see Apple Intelligence continually evolving and setting new standards in AI integration. And with Genmoji on the horizon, brands have an incredible opportunity to connect with their audiences in fun, unique ways.
