I recently started using Apple Intelligence on my Mac, but I haven't had a chance to try it on my iPhone yet (I don't own an iPad). I'm quite basic with iPhone usage compared to how I use my Mac. Do you find Apple Intelligence actually useful on iPhone or iPad?
 
The only thing I've used is the Clean Up tool in Photos on my M1 Air. Got decent results.

Not bothered with the rest and my iPhone 15 doesn't support Apple Intelligence anyway.

Okay, I have used Clean Up in Photos (and only on my Mac) - but that installs whether or not you activate Apple Intelligence in the OSs.
Iffy results with that - especially if the app think you're trying to delete a face - but the return of Retouch in more recent updates resolves much of that.
 
Clean Up and Writing Tools, both work surprisingly well for me.

Notification summary is a hit-or-miss, good that it can be turned off on a per app basis.
Image playground: I guess I'm not creative enough. Tried it a couple of times, but I seem to lack inspiration...
 
I've used Clean Up in Photos, otherwise I haven't intentionally used it for anything. At this point, there are better options if one is interested in dabbling in AI.

It’s slower than opening ChatGPT and asking whatever you need to know there. It’s also bad, I don’t know why Craig said Siri has more „product information“ in that TomsGuide interview. So far, every single thing I asked about the phone it runs on or any, literally any, other Apple product doesn’t yield anything but a „here is what I found on the web“.

Not in general, but I do think Visual Intelligence is one of Apple's better ideas. Yes, its just Google lens but having it only a button press away is a big deal. Being able to ask about food in a supermarket or add a flyer event directly into a calendar is super useful.

The question "Do you use Apple Intelligence?" is frankly a misnomer. AI is a broad computing tool that is rapidly being integrated into various apps/OSs, various ways. By Apple and by others. Apple has cleverly co-opted the AI term but that is just marketing. Bottom line is that everyone upgrading to newer Apple hardware/OS/apps with adequate RAM will be using Apple Intelligence one way or another.

Everyone upgrading to newer non-Apple hardware/OS/apps with adequate RAM will be using artificial intelligence [AI] one way or another.

Chatgpt (Apple Intelligence, Copilot) is for me worst AI

GROK is the best, Gemini also good

Chatgpt feels like a search-machine, GROK like a real person answering to you.

Sure, it is still using the neural engine/AI though, just from before Apple gave it a name.

That was a genuine question.
It’s news to me that Apple calls anything that doesn’t run on the 16’s and 15 Pro‘s Apple Intelligence. I don’t think they label it that.

I don't know if they call it that, but its one of the features of the phone that makes use of the neural engines.
 
Apple somehow managed to make AI look and feel boring. That's quite a feat in this day and age.

People that say No are using it all the time, they just don't know it. Most of Apple Intelligence is just working in the background on tasks. Very few of its features actually stand out in the UI.
