Apple's foray into generative AI began with the introduction of iOS 18 at WWDC 2024. Here's how it works

Apple 's foray into generative AI began with the introduction of iOS 18 at WWDC 2024 .

Apple 's approach is noticeably tamer and slower-paced than the ambitious ideas you will encounter with ChatGPT or Microsoft 's Copilot .

Apple hasn't committed to a "forever free" approach for its next-gen AI features, and it's plausible that iPhone users will have to cough up extra cash.

Siri has been a laggard in the virtual assistant race for a while now.

With the arrival of Apple Intelligence , Siri is getting a massive makeover that essentially makes it the master of your iPhone and the connected Apple ecosystem.

Apple Intelligence is yet to take its final shape, as some of the more promising features will only arrive later this year .

The AI-fueled no-distraction mode kicks into action once you enable the "Intelligence Breakthrough & Silencing" toggle.

Apple also offers the facility to make the "Reduce Interruptions" focus mode stand out for the iPhone in your hand as well as the connected Apple Watch .

In 2024 , the Notes app is also getting its fair share of upgrades, such as automatic numerical calculations, collapsible sections, and highlights.
