Apple 'Glowtime' Event: Apple Intelligence Announcements
Apple announced that Apple Intelligence can now analyse inboxes, offering email summaries and adjusting notifications. Important notifications will be prioritised and displayed at the top of your inbox. These improvements also enhance Siri’s ability to comprehend vague requests, assist with tasks on the iPhone, and monitor on-screen activities.
Users can generate new emojis by typing a description or create images through Image Playground. Apple also shared that users can search for specific images by typing a description or pinpoint a particular moment within a video, with the option to compile a collection of movies.
Siri has become more intuitive, context-aware, and personalised. You can also type your commands, and Siri's expanded knowledge base is designed to help troubleshoot issues and perform tasks on the iPhone 16. Additionally, Siri now better understands on-screen content, allowing it to reference images or videos you’re viewing.
Apple Intelligence will debut as a beta in the US this fall, with localized English versions arriving in various markets by December. Support for additional languages like Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish is planned for 2025.
