Apple stole headlines for this year’s WWDC 2024 with a showcase of the new technological developments that are just around the corner. Everyone wants to know more about the new Apple Intelligence that came to some selected iPhone models, which has arguably been the biggest highlight of the whole show. As the ‘digital age’ progresses, Apple is not only keeping up with the rest of the world, but also setting a higher standard for AI technology, whether it’s by generating images with the breath of life in them, creating and editing the ultimate emoji, or using fresh writing and summarising tools.
Heads up: the GPT announcement is that the first iPhone with AI (Apple Intelligence) will be an Apple feature reserved for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple announced this as a feature of these devices, not the entire iPhone 15 line.This statement serves as a reminder of technological exclusivity: the reason why 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are different from other models is that they host Apple’s declaration of its AI effort.
This exclusivity is counterbalanced by an optimistic brush stroke for the next generation, with the iPhone 16 series expected to carry the A17 Pro, or maybe even the A18. The Apple Intelligence might be more accessible. The token extension strategy suggests a rising tide that will lift the entire Apple ecosystem.
This historic path, though, will put a chasm between the avant-garde and the legacy. The newest iOS 18 model, such as the iPhone 15 Plus to the older darlings such as the iPhone SE (2020), will run iOS 18 but without Apple Intelligence. The same devices that can handle iOS 18 won’t have Apple Intelligence because of the hardware present. This highlights the importance of hardware in making next-generation features possible.
Then what’s the rub? AI ram. AI relies on processing power and memory. Now, the A17 Pro chip with 8GB of RAM makes the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max the only devices to have Apple Intelligence. And its predecessors can’t fulfil the high standards of Apple Intelligence because they have less RAM and older chips.
But the story isn’t all about scarcity either. iOS 18 is looking to be a major update, offering a number of new features. The Control Center has had a makeover, while iMessage talks the big talking in new text effects, too. It looks like iOS 18 could give your phone a breath of fresh air. So without Apple Brain, that’s all we’re getting. It’s not such a bad deal.
Looking a little deeper into those WWDC 2024 reveals, though, the announcements weren’t confined just to Apple Intelligence. From the biggest Siri update ever to iPadOS 18, Apple is linking its company platforms and software together into a more unified and intelligent ecosystem, and opening up new possibilities for user interaction.
At its heart Apple is a place of innovation, a company that has continued to challenge itself and push the bounds of what’s technologically possible in terms of its design aesthetic. From the first iPhone up through Apple Intelligence (their latest iteration of artificial intelligence) Apple’s legacy has remained focused on excellence fueled by innovation for the future. Through its commitment to innovative new technologies Apple is not only changing the way we interact with technology, they are positively changing our overall experience by creating experiences with a human touch at the core of it all.
With the integration of Apple Intelligence on iPhones, Apple’s latest step in the great technological tapestry is a bright entry in a long line of time-saving, quality-enhancing feats of engineering. By bringing expert artificial intelligence to the general mass of handheld computing hardware, Apple is not only developing better tools; it is priming a future where technology extends our own intuition, making daily life not just easier – but more enjoyable. The future of iPhone is not just bright; it is intelligent.
