Finally they’re getting the ball rolling. It’s quite difficult to sell an Apple Intelligence phone without Apple Intelligence. 🤷

At least this was a better argument than what other people have said against it. Still, it would only take a Google search after looking at the photo, contacting the person if you know them, or other things to find out the truth of the photo. Unless the whole world tries to gaslight you into believing that it is true, which would be kinda funny.
I do because if I wanted to use Apple Intelligence in the UK, I had to switch to the US region, which for me broke some shortcuts, and the HomePods didn’t know who I was.
I’m now on 18.2 using the UK language. Shortcuts are now working perfectly, HomePods know who I am again, and Apple Intelligence is working fine. On the waiting list for the newest 18.2 features, so hopefully, that will be approved shortly.
not sure… I pressed to join then a few mins later got a popup to say it was available.
now on iPad it shows downloading support…phone shows image playground unavailable..
So because metadata can be modified, and because some people are more adept than others at creating fake photos, then that is why we can’t have it. Is it too hard to run a Google search or contact the person in question to see if the image holds any truth? I would imagine that a celebrity, politician, etc would be quick to jump on social media to confirm or deny a photo that’s not true. I still do not think the arguments you are making holds justification against it. It just sounds like protecting people from themselves because you don’t trust that most people will have fun with it and not use it for bad.
I would bet a ton of money that if a developer comes along that uses the power of Image Playground to produce realistic images in their app, if that would be possible with the API, then that would gain a lot more traction and user involvement than the “cutesy” cartoons of Image Playground.
Quick feedback of 18.2 Beta 1:
- The ChatGPT integration with Siri asks you to use ChatGPT every time if it needs. So annoying! Why can’t it just go straight to ChatGPT if Siri needs?
- Siri doesn’t read the output from ChatGPT, just displays the text. So annoying!
They NEED to fix these two things before launching 18.2.

Installed 18.2. Asked Siri to write me a poem about furniture, and it hung up for 10 seconds then hung up lol. Asked it to ask chatgpt to write me a poem and it said "I don't understand". Enabled ChatGPT and everything. Why do they even bother to release it in this state, beta or not?
The first part of your post is what Apple has specifically said would happen every time Siri tries to tap into ChatGPT. That’s not a bug.
Okay it actually started working for me. Confirmed it doesn't bother reading the ChatGPT output out loud. But you can actually turn off the Request access to ChatGPT in options
I’m just a very strong believer that deepfake images and videos should not only be heavily regulated, but illegal. There are very serious consequences to this technology. It can be used to defame people, steal their identity, and cause personal harm. And I don’t think I’m exaggerating one bit.
It was posted on the front page of MacRumors five minutes before you commented.
That's why I'm skipping the iPhone 16 lineup and sticking with my iPhone 12, which is basically identical to each release since then, minus niche camera features. There's tons of stuff to be sorted before I invest in Apple's AI promise.
For most people? Yes, absolutely. As we've seen again and again and again, people believe things they read and see online, even when they shouldn't. The vast majority of people have little to no media literacy. It's an enormous problem, it's only going to get worse, and there's truly no reason whatsoever for Apple to add to it. Is it too hard for you, someone who is obviously tech-savvy, to use any number of other tools to generate realistic images?
Maybe. But Apple obviously doesn't want "traction," or at least doesn't want it at the expense of safety and its reputation. Again, there are dozens if not hundreds of easily accessible tools you can use to generate realistic images if you so desire. Apple doesn't want to facilitate that.
Edit- working now. I’m in the uk and had region set to US to use previous 18.1 features. Turned back to uk and it all works now
It’s not like this would prevent lawsuits from happening. I would be on board with regulations against using people and children in nefarious ways, like a politician being decapitated or photos of a female celebrity naked that has never been naked on camera before or something. There is such a thing as the Streisand Effect though, and the more that people try to remove or prevent this stuff from taking off the more people that’s going to gravitate towards it.
You don't need an API, or even Apple Intelligence to do that. Draw Things is an app in the store right now that can run on a myriad of devices and accepts run of the mill stable diffusion models.
It’s not hard for me to make a decision about something I see or read online. If I see a photo that doesn’t look right, then I typically find the source to see if it’s corroborated by other people or other sites. Same as say news articles.
I just find this argument coming right back to protecting people from themselves and not trusting that people can make up their own mind about what they see as being truthful or not, and we have to basically hold their hand and tell them what to believe or how to think about what they come into contact with just because a minority of people might abuse it.
I can tell that Apple doesn’t want to take this approach. I saw the interview with Craig about it. My whole argument wasn’t that they wanted to take this approach, I just said, of my own opinion, that they still should have and let people make their own choice.
Respectively, I will just agree to disagree.
What about us, the EU folks here? Are we getting anything similiar or will we get really something called 18.2 but nothing in it?
