Tool 7: Image Playground

Image Playground is easy to use and is directly integrated into multiple apps like Messages, allowing users to create fun images in seconds bases on descriptions or even portraits from their photo library. This feature can generate images in real time during the conversation, greatly increasing the fun of the conversation and allowing the other party to quickly understand our ideas.

Besides, it offers image creation features that support various styles such as animation, illustration, and hand-drawn. When using Image Playground, users can generate original images from different categories, such as themes, costumes, accessories, and locations.

Users can easily adjust styles and make changes to match the theme of a Keynote presentation, Notes board, or slide. The created images can be freely shared with friends in other applications or on social media.

Tool 8: Genmoji

This is a very interesting feature. Users can create a completely customized Genmoji using the keyboard, providing descriptions to preview and adjusting them until they are perfect. Users can even pick someone from their photo library and create a Genmoji that looks like them. Apple Intelligence supports creating original images and brand-new Genmojis that truly belong to the user.

Tool 9: Image Wand

This tool enables the conversion of sketches into relevant images within the Notes application. By drawing a circle around the sketch using a finger or Apple Pencil, the Image Wand will analyze the surrounding context to create an image. It transforms rough sketches into related images, enhancing note-taking capabilities.

Tool 10: Memory Movie

Enter a description, and Apple Intelligence will find the best matching photos and videos, creating a custom memory film based on the provided description. It crafts a story with unique chapters based on the determined themes, arranging the user's photos into a movie with its own narrative arc.

Tool 11: Search for Photos and Videos

Simply describe what you are looking for, and you can search for highly matching photos and videos in the Photos app. Apple Intelligence can even find specific moments within video clips that match the search description and take you directly to that moment.

Tool 12: Clean Up

The new Clean Up tool in the Photos app can recognize and remove irrelevant objects from the background of photos without affecting the main subject, similar to the "Image matting" feature in Photoshop but with more convenience.

Part 3: AI Siri Assistant

Tool 13: Enhanced Siri Capabilities

Apple Siri AI with screen awareness can perform relevant actions based on the information on the screen, such as adding an address received in the Messages app to a friend's contact card.

Siri can also provide intelligent assistance based on personal user and device information, such as finding detailed information about upcoming flights or checking dinner reservation availability.

Part 4: Integrate ChatGPT

Tool 14: Apple Intelligence ChatGPT

Apple is not satisfied with the capabilities of local AI alone and has integrated the latest GPT-4o from ChatGPT. Apple has incorporated OpenAI's ChatGPT into Siri and writing tools, allowing anyone to access ChatGPT for free without creating an account. ChatGPT subscribers can connect their accounts to access paid features in ChatGPT.

Conclusion

The newest Artificial Intelligence in iPhone covers all aspects of our lives and provides tremendous convenience, significantly enhancing our productivity. It is worth noting that Apple Intelligence will be released at Apple's annual fall event in September. You can download the iOS 18 Beta for an early preview.
