Here Are All of the Apple Intelligence Features in the iOS 18.1 Developer Beta

Pixelryan said:
It’s disabled there. You have to set your region to America and Siri language to American English. They are holding these features hostage for Europe because they actually have privacy rules. Shame on Apple for doing this, after the very intelligence was trained on the UKs open web data without their permission and for no credit.

A government fines a company multiple billions of dollars so they decide to hold back a feature to ensure it follows their stupid anticompetitive laws, and you think that it’s the company’s fault?

Sorry, but the EU was digging their own grave on this, they are already behind when it comes to the tech sector, and they are not doing themselves any favours

Let's see first, how other manufacturers are handling this. For now, it looks like Google and Samsung have no problems complying with the law and are already releasing their version of "AI".

To me, it looks like Apple is just late to the party. Now that they are behind with the introduction, it's of course convenient to blame the EU.

This is truly game-changing. Sad that people will still complain, though.

Proofread by AI

I can't help but notice, if I'm reading the picture correctly, that the suggested response to the email doesn't seem very good. The email says to let them know if her partner can come, and the suggested reply is asking if the partner can come.

The AI can't help there because I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually know if the partner can come or not.

So I guess there will still be a need to proof-read the proof-readers.

How curious

I downloaded 18.1. It installed according to Settings, I've never known an update ask to be switched on before, is this a new thing?

You're not 'switching on' the update, you're enabling the AI functionality as Apple has always said that it'll be optional, even when it fully launches.

Not impressive at all honestly. It basically just put your interest into sentences then it said you own a canine company which you don’t.

Understood. It was just a basic test to see how it does.

It will at least help others who can’t write a dating bio to save their life.

has anybody tried out the Natural language search in photos on a library of 10000 pics or larger? How well does that work? How fast is it? And does it search in the cloud or locally? Locally I can't imagine an iphone would be even remotely fast enough to search a larger photo library.......
 
Anyone managed to opt in to this stuff outside the US? I read that setting your region to US should get the Siri & Apple Intelligence section to show up, but I tried it on my M2 Mac to no avail.

That's because Android is much more open.

The DMA isn't really compatible with a closed, propriety system where the manufacturer wants to be in total control.

The language in the UK is … English

And… as far as I know you need to set your region settings to US.

That’s hardly a big deal. Was the same for the voicemail feature last year. Changing the region gives you access and there’s no real downside to changing the region

So don’t really get the 2028 comment. You certainly weren’t clear what you meant hence my UK response

It works pretty well on my 66k library without AI, and AI is just converting natural language to old fashioned search terms - behind the scenes there is probably nothing new 😅

There are many languages in the world. And while many tech companies manage to roll out features worldwide with support for many languages, it often takes Apple many many years. If they manage at all.

For me it’s quite obvious apple will take a long time to roll out Apple Intelligence to non-English markets.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I don’t have any useful mention of AI or switching on Apple Intelligence.

Next update maybe.

Some of the features look useful. More so than most other "AI" products I have tried.

Has Apple published a timeline when these features will be available in other languages?
Click to expand...
Lol have you ever see Apple published some timeline like that? When we still do not have QuickType keyboard and typing prediction for many languages?
 
Regarding the feature "maintain context between requests ", do you still have to say "Hi Siri" 3 times if I ask 3 times? Or Siri is able to continue on the conversation without using "Hi Siri" to trigger it?
 
My Mac is an M2 so I can run Apple Intelligence. My current phone is a 14 Pro, so I can't. What happens when I turn on Reduce Interruptions on my Mac which syncs to my phone? Does my phone just do a DND altogether or does it actually enable it?

FYI - I am trying this, but so far I don't have any emergencies to test it with :)

Many tech companies also throw stuff against the wall to see what sticks. That’s different than a thoughtful implementation.
 
Apple AI is about as smart as Siri! You would have to be a total moron to pay for their overhyped and under delivered intelligence features.
