With the publication of the operating system iOS 18.4 From now on, the Apple-owned AI software also supports German and nine other languages-including French, Italian and Spanish. In addition, iPhone and iPad users in the European Union can now access the functions for the first time.
Among other things, “Apple Intelligence” can summarize missed emails and short messages, create individual emoji symbols and fish out information on call. Most of the AI functions run locally on the mobile device for data protection reasons. More complex inquiries access a cloud offer from Apple via a hermetically secured connection, in which a larger computing power is available. However, questions can also be answered online from the Openai system Chatgpt online.
A completely renewed Siri was supposed to serve as a central AI assistant, but Apple recently suffered a setback. It takes longer than planned for the improved version of the assistance software to be available. The new functions with artificial intelligence will only be available “next year”, an Apple spokeswoman said three weeks ago. In general, the function for spring was expected.
These devices are supported
Apple Intelligence is available for iPhone, iPad and Mac and runs on these devices:
- All iPhone-16-Models, iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max
- Macs With Apple-Silicon chips (M1, M2, M3 and their variants)
- ipads With M1 chip and iPad mini From the 7th generation (2024) with A17 per and at least 8 GB RAM
Functions at a glance
- Visual Intelligence: Visual intelligence understands Apple that users receive information about objects and places that have previously been recorded with the smartphone camera. This works either with the Google image search (“search”) or or chat (“questions”). This function was initially reserved for iPhone 16 models, but now also works with iPhone-15-Pro models.
- Prioritize and summarize communications: Messages that the AI considers particularly important (e.g. calls) are displayed first in the notification center. Apple Intelligence can also summarize certain notifications. For example, with the notification, a summary of the content of the new messages appears with the notification.
- Writing tools: The keyboard gets to the writing tools that offer help with rewriting, correction and summarizing texts.
- Photo functions: Under the name “Clearing”, an eraser is now available in the photo app. The user marks everything that should disappear from a photo and the AI does the rest. New is also a text -based search in the app.
- Create emojis and pictures: With the so-called gene mojis there are new emojis for the news app. Images can be generated in the new app playground and in the notes app it is now possible to create pictures from words, texts and sketches.
