On Monday, owners of certain iPhone models worldwide were able to access Apple Intelligence, a suite of artificial intelligence technologies that were first revealed in June.
Notification summaries, tools to help users write messages, and a dazzling new interface for Siri, the virtual assistant, are among the new features.
However, only those who own the newest models of the iPhone, such as the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, will be able to access them.
With its most recent chips, Apple Intelligence is also accessible on iPad tablets and Mac desktops.
However, compared to similar features on other well-known smartphones, several of the utilities that were made available on Monday arrived later.
The public launch of Apple’s AI technologies, according to CEO Tim Cook, ushered in “a new era” for the company’s goods.
It follows the company’s announcement on Friday that it would offer a prize of up to $1 million (£770,000) to ethical hackers who could show weaknesses in its AI software.
