Here are the Apple Intelligence features announced for the iPhone 16. As noted during the event, many of the Apple Intelligence features are processed on-device. For those that require cloud computing, Apple has dedicated Apple Intelligence servers called Private Cloud Compute that don't store user data and are used only to process requests.
Writing Tools: As Federighi said, Apple Intelligence is available "wherever you type," including third-party apps like Slack and Goodreads. The AI integration helps iPhone 16 users draft, rewrite, and proofread text.
Transcription and summaries in Notes: Apple Intelligence enables Apple users to record, transcribe, and summarize calls and audio recordings in the Notes and Phone apps.
Genmoji: With Apple Intelligence, you can create new emoji by typing a description or create new images with Image Playground.
Photos: In the Photos app, you can find an image you're looking for by typing a description or even a specific moment in a video. Apple also introduced a "Clean Up" tool that uses Apple Intelligence to remove unwanted objects or people that get in the way of your perfect shot.
AI-generated summaries: In Mail and notifications on the home screen, you can get a quick summary of your inbox in the Mail app. Apple Intelligence also provides AI-generated summaries of notifications and prioritizes them based on importance.
Behold, the new Siri: As promised, Siri is more natural, contextually relevant, and more personalized. Aside from voice prompts, you can type to Siri. The voice assistant also has more expansive knowledge for helping troubleshoot or accomplish something on your iPhone 16. Siri also has more contextual on-screen awareness, so it sees what you see on the screen, or a collection of photos you referenced.
Apple Intelligence on iPhone 16 will be available in beta in October as part of the iOS 18.1 update. It will start in the U.S. in English and then roll out to other countries.
