Apple Intelligence release date: When will you get Genmoji and more?

Apple Intelligence demo

Wondering about the Apple Intelligence release date? I've got some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that Apple Intelligence is available now on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You can play around with new features like notification summaries, AI-powered writing tools, and an updated Siri that's more tolerant of disfluencies.

However, some of the more highly anticipated Apple Intelligence features, like Genmoji and Image Playground, are not out yet. Fortunately, they will be headed our way soon.

Apple Intelligence release date

As of this writing, you can use Apple Intelligence now, as long as you have a device that's compatible with Apple Intelligence. For example, iPhone users must have an iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max or newer to enjoy Apple Intelligence.

For iPad users, you'll need an iPad with an A17 Pro or M1 chip (or newer). For Mac users, you'll need an M1 Mac (or newer).

Plus, you'll need to make sure that your device has iOS 18.1 (or iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 for iPads and Macs, respectively).

The new Apple Intelligence suite features the following:

  • Clean Up Tool (Apple's answer to Google Magic Eraser)

  • Writing Tools (Rewrite different versions of text for a more appropriate tone)

  • Siri's new ability to handle disfluency

  • Siri's expanded product knowledge (e.g., you can ask it questions like "How do I share my Wi-Fi password?")

  • Transcripts for Voice Memos and call recording

  • Get brief summaries of notifications, emails, texts, and more

  • Natural language search in the Photos app

  • Use the "Memories" Photos app feature to create a movie by typing a description (e.g., "Last summer in our garden" or "Everything we ate in Italy")

  • Priority Messages intelligently shows the most urgent emails

  • Smart Reply provides suggestions for quick responses to emails

Keep in mind that you'll need to join a waitlist before using Apple Intelligence. Waitlist times can vary, from five minutes to several hours.

Apple Intelligence features that aren't here yet

As mentioned at the outset, there are still some Apple Intelligence features that are not here yet, but they're on the horizon.

  • Image Playground (generate your own images)

  • Image Wand (transform rough sketches into more sophisticated images)

  • ChatGPT integration with Siri

  • Visual Intelligence (a new Google Lens-like feature for iPhones with the new Camera Control feature)

Apple Intelligence is currently available in the US, but it will roll out to Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK in December.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

The Shortcut AI Excel agent could one-shot spreadsheet jobs. Heres how to try it.

There's a new AI agent on the block for people who spend their waking hours inside spreadsheets. Navigate to Shortcut AI's website , and you'll find a page that looks almost exactly like an empty Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The main difference is a sidebar chatbot that can be tasked with taking on the tedious legwork of building, say, complex financial models or competitive analyses. Because Shortcut is agentic , meaning it can handle multi-step tasks on the user's behalf, the tool can do more than just generate Excel formulas or analyze spreadsheet data. In a demo on X, Nico Christie, founder and CEO of the Shortcut AI agent, showed how the tool swapped out the data from a Microsoft distributed cash flow analysis (DCF) for Google data by looking up Google's SEC filings and populating the data in the same template. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Shortcut launched on Monday with a rather ominous tagline: "Try...

Mystery Pixel smartphones detailed in code references

The devices also pack 12GB of RAM apiece. Shiba is said to feature a screen with a resolution of 2,268 x 1,080 pixels while Husky could be a bit larger at 2,822 x 1,344 pixels. Given the amount of RAM, however, both would likely qualify as premium devices. from TechSpot https://ift.tt/cefMDJW via
