New Features in iOS 18.2
Apple’s iOS 18.2 release has brought with it an array of new features aimed at enhancing user experience and expanding the capabilities of Apple devices. Among these new features are significant enhancements to Apple Intelligence, including the integration of ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI.
Expanding Language Support
Apple has also broadened its language support for Apple Intelligence, extending its reach to include localized English in countries such as Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK. This comes as a marked improvement over the previous support, which was limited to US English.
ChatGPT Integration and Writing Tool Enhancements
The integration of ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence is a significant advancement. Siri can now refer to ChatGPT for questions it is unable to answer. In addition, Apple has improved its writing tools by introducing a ‘compose’ option that leverages ChatGPT to generate text based on a given prompt.
Image Playground and Genmoji
The new image playground feature allows users to create images in different styles through a dedicated app. Users can also use images to create AI-powered remixes by describing various scenarios and settings. Apple is also introducing Genmoji, a unique feature that enables users to create new emojis by describing ones that don’t exist.
Visual Intelligence for New iPhone Models
Apple is introducing visual intelligence for its latest iPhone models, the 16, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max. This feature allows users to search or ask ChatGPT about objects in their camera’s frame. Also, users can point their camera at a text to save a phone number or translate languages, thanks to the Live Text feature.
Upcoming Enhancements
Apple plans to further enhance its AI capabilities by providing developers with access to its Apple Intelligence-related APIs. This will allow developers to integrate these features into their apps. In the coming months, Siri will have better understanding, provide contextual suggestions, and gain onscreen awareness.
Conclusion
Apple’s new intelligence features, including ChatGPT integration, are a significant leap in the realm of technology. With enhanced language support, improved writing tools, and innovative features like image playground and Genmoji, Apple continues to redefine the boundaries of user experience and technological capabilities.
