AI: Lastly, the most awaited feature is coming to iOS 18, and Apple wants to call it Apple Intelligence, a new AI-powered system that enhances Siri’s capabilities, making it more intuitive and helpful. It will also perform functions within apps, such as managing notifications, generating text automatically, and summarizing content in emails and other apps. Given Apple’s focus on privacy, the company states that its AI features will be processed on-device to safeguard user information. However, users will require an A17 Pro or M-series chip to access these features.
