The first round of Apple Intelligence features includes a redesigned Siri, writing tools, summaries and smart replies, an updated Photos app, and a new focus mode. With iOS 18.1, Apple said Siri can field typed requests, answer "thousands of questions" about Apple products, and understand context better.
Apple said the Photos app is becoming "more intelligent" to allow users to get more specific in their search for a picture or video. A clean-up tool is also available to remove unwanted elements from the background of images.
In the Mail app, there's a new section for 'priority messages' that have urgent subjects - Apple used same-day invitation and boarding passes as examples. Apple said new notification summaries will help users catch up on their group chats and smart reply can formulate quick responses.
Analyst Dan Ives has predicted AI features could drive a significant iPhone upgrade cycle, highlighting the strategic importance of AI enhancements to bolster device sales.
