Apple released the most anticipated update to its mobile and desktop operating systems Wednesday, finally delivering a raft of new artificial intelligence features that promise to unlock OpenAI’s cutting-edge technology.
While users got a small taste of “Apple Intelligence” in October, thus far, consumers and critics have been underwhelmed.
The release of iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and MacOS Sequoia 15.2 introduces several new features, including ChatGPT support for Siri, enhanced camera control, personalized emoji design, and generative image creation.
The new features rolled out today work on iPhone 15 Pro and later; iPad with A17 Pro or M1 and later; and Mac with M1 and later. Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect.
Image Playground
Generative AI lets users create images in Messages. These images can be based on photos in the user’s photo library, and offer a variety of themes, including animation and illustrations. Apple says the Image Playground is also accessible via other apps, including Freeform and Keynote.
