Apple announced "Apple Intelligence" at the WWDC 2024 conference — a new set of artificial intelligence features for iPhone, Mac, and other platforms.

Among the presented features:
▫️ Text processing: concise summaries, translations from any language, email sending, and error detection;
▫️ Image generation in three styles (sketch, illustration, animation) and emoji by text prompt. One-tap removal of unnecessary objects;
▫️ Searching for photos with specific people/animals/places in the gallery and messages;
▫️ Siri will be able to record or explain information from the screen, find needed information in almost any app by voice request;
▫️ Sorting notifications, automatic reminders, and much more.

The company claims that its AI features will be processed on-device to ensure data privacy.

🔻However, to take advantage of this benefit, users will need the A17 Pro chip — which is the whole point, to sell them all.💰

🔻Additionally, some AI features will still be transferred to the cloud, and to smooth over this nuance, Apple claims it will be a "private cloud" and Apple will never be able to access it.😁

Apple Intelligence will be available in English only in 2024. Support for other languages will come next year.

🚬 Elon Musk says he will ban all Apple devices at his companies "if Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level."
