What’s new on the iOS 18?
Apple Intelligence will make its debut on the iOS 18 when it is released this fall. To address privacy concerns, Apple has assured its users that most of the AI computation will take place on the device. Whenever the iPhone falls short of processing power, it will utilise Apple’s cloud servers for the computational process. Before using Open AI’s ChatGPT, the iPhone always asks for the user’s permission.
Apple Intelligence will find use everywhere on the OS – from editing pictures to recording and transcribing phone calls. Other than that, iOS 18 has taken a giant leap ahead when it comes to customisation. Users can now change the layout, size, and colour of the app icons on the home screen and even personalise the Control Center according to their needs.
