Following Monday’s WWDC keynote, Apple CEO Tim Cook discussed Apple Intelligence and more with popular tech content creators Justine Ezarik (iJustine), Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) and Safwan AhmedMia (SuperSaf). The videos are now on YouTube.
Cook touched on how Apple Intelligence features are designed to improve customers’ lives, with strong privacy safeguards.
Apple Intelligence will allow users to summarize text, create custom emojis and images, receive priority notifications and more. Siri is also getting smarter with Apple Intelligence, with richer language understanding and more per-app controls. These features will require an iPhone 15 Pro or later, or a Mac or iPad with an M1 chip or later.
Apple Intelligence will be available when iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia are released later this year, but the features will carry a beta tag at first. Developers will be able to start testing features in the iOS 18 beta later this summer.
Cook also discussed Apple Intelligence with Washington Post‘s Josh Tyrangiel, with that interview shared in written form.
