Apple Intelligence proves that AI is a feature, not a product
Apple Intelligence is the personal artificial intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that combines the power of generative AI models with personal context to deliver intelligence that’s incredibly useful and relevant.
Apple Intelligence is deeply integrated into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. It harnesses the power of Apple silicon to understand and create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks.
With Private Cloud Compute, Apple sets a new standard for AI privacy, with the ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on-device processing and larger, server-based models that run on dedicated Apple Silicon servers.
Apple has lately been perceived as a generative AI laggard. Its WWDC offerings failed to persuade some critics, who have branded WWDC’s announcements as downright boring. But with the focus on infusing existing apps and OS features with what the company calls “Apple Intelligence,” the big takeaway is that generative AI is a feature rather than a product in and of itself.
The dazzling abilities demonstrated by ChatGPT has inspired some startups to try inventing entirely dedicated AI hardware—like the Rabbit R1 and the Humane AI Pin—as a means of harnessing generative AI. Unfortunately, these gadgets have been underwhelming and frustrating to use in practice. By contrast, Apple’s vertical integration of generative AI across so many products and different software seems much likelier where AI is headed.
[Apple Intelligence’s] capabilities hardly push the boundaries of generative AI, but they are thoughtfully integrated and perhaps even limited in ways that will encourage users to trust them more.
