Apple Inc. has officially announced that its much-anticipated Apple Intelligence feature will be launched next week, coinciding with the release of iOS 18.1 on October 28. Esteemed tech journalist Mark Gurman's latest report corroborates this information.

Apple Intelligence will introduce a suite of advanced AI functions, including a writing toolkit for text proofreading and rewriting, photo clean-up to organize and optimize storage, notification summaries for prioritizing important alerts, and enhanced Siri capabilities for improved interaction and information accuracy.

Additionally, in the upcoming iOS 18.2 update, Siri will integrate with ChatGPT, allowing users to seek inspiration or answers directly from the virtual assistant. Siri will recommend using ChatGPT, and if accepted, ChatGPT will provide immediate responses.

Apple has assured that any information shared with ChatGPT will require user consent, and usage is free without the need for account creation. For subscribers, there will be an option to link their accounts.

Apple Intelligence will be available to users of the iPhone 16 series and the iPhone 15 Pro series, marking a significant milestone in AI functionality since its announcement at the WWDC conference.

Despite the buzz, market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo remains cautious about the immediate impact on iPhone shipments. While some optimistically predict a boost in sales, Apple’s recent order reductions indicate that these expectations may not materialize quickly.

Internally, Apple acknowledges that its AI technology lags behind leaders by about two years. Research reveals that ChatGPT outperforms Siri in accuracy by 25% and covers a broader range of inquiries.

However, Apple's strong brand and past comebacks suggest they could enhance their AI offerings via in-house development, recruitment, or acquisitions, potentially rising to the top tier of AI companies.

With the launch of Apple Intelligence, Apple aficionados worldwide are eager to experience the advancement in AI, signaling a future brimming with possibilities for Apple in the AI sector.
