Today, iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and MacOS Sequoia 15.2 are released, bringing the glory of Apple Intelligence to Australia.
Parts of Apple Intelligence have already been rolled out in other parts of the world, but today Australia is getting everything and the full suite is being rolled out.
These include Image Playground, where you can use prompts to create custom images in a variety of styles, Genmoji, where you can create your own emojis using prompts, and Image Wand, where you can turn sketches into professional images.
You’ll also find writing tools that let you proofread and rewrite text in any app. You can also use prompts to give them sentences or something special.
Siri also has an all-new design that wraps around the screen borders on all devices, making it more responsive, more useful, and conversations flow more naturally.
Two of my favorite features are the notification summary and the new less-disruptive focus mode. It provides a grouped summary of notifications from all your apps with notification summaries powered by Apple Intelligence, reducing interruptions by letting only the most important notifications get through.
Camera and Photos have also been significantly improved with Visual Intelligence, which uses the camera to tell you information about what’s on your screen, and a new Cleanup feature that lets you magically remove unwanted stuff from your photos. Masu.
ChatGPT is also coming to Apple Intelligence, allowing you to create lists with prompts based on creating your itinerary, or anything that Siri can’t handle. ChatGPT can assist you (if you choose). .
Ahead of its launch, I had the opportunity to sit down with Bob Borchers, Apple’s Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing, to talk all about Apple Intelligence. You can see the details below.
