Apple Intelligence and other new features
With iOS 18, the company is introducing Apple Intelligence, which is intended to be a personal and intelligent aid for you. With the help of simple commands, it should be possible to create and modify images. There are also commands that allow you to automate, proofread and summarize texts. Apple emphasizes the focus on user security.
Redesign of the Photos app
The new photo app is designed to bring memories to the forefront even more. You can use the search function to search for topics without having to scroll through everything. You can pin your favorite albums as you wish so that you can access the most beautiful moments directly. A new carousel also shows you daily highlights with your loved ones.
Big Siri update
Apple Intelligence is also giving Siri a comprehensive update. It will no longer be limited to the few commands that work reliably. In the future, it will be possible to have entire interactions with Siri – whether in text or voice form. Access to ChatGPT will also be integrated here.
