TIPS + TRICKS APPLE INTELLIGENCE
Apple has decided to infuse its operating systems with AI. Craig Grannell helps you unearth the good bits –well, ‘good’ until the day it goes all HAL and shuts you out of the airlock…
THE BASICS
■ Get started Apple Intelligence started rolling out in October. The features you can access will depend on your device, OS and location; at the very least you’ll need an iPhone 15 Pro, any iPhone 16, or a device with an M-series chip. Inevitably, American English got the new toys first, with some additional languages following in December.
■ Use AI mindfully Believe the hype and you’ll imagine AI can write an award-winning novel from a prompt. It can’t. Even a perfect email is a stretch. That’s because AI –yes, even Apple’s –is prone to making and introducing all sorts of errors. So be careful to scrutinise any written output that Apple Intelligence produces if you’re using it for anything important.
