Apple Intelligence is a new suite of AI features announced by Apple at WWDC 2024. It is designed to be an ecosystem-wide push into generative AI, with a focus on personal context and privacy. Apple Intelligence will be available on select devices, including the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad and Mac with M1 and later chips. Initially, it will be available in US English as a beta, with plans to roll out additional features and language support over the next year.

Apple Intelligence is expected to be available this fall as part of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia1. It will introduce features like article summaries, text rewriting, and image generation capabilities. The suite of AI features will be deeply integrated into Apple's operating systems, including Siri, which will have an all-new design and the ability to type queries directly into the system1. Additionally, Apple is partnering with OpenAI to bring ChatGPT to offerings like Siri, providing users with access to generative AI-based intelligence without needing to sign up for an account or pay a fee.
