I tried Apple Intelligence Early!

Science & Technology


Introduction

The much-anticipated first glimpse of Apple Intelligence has finally arrived with the release of iOS 18.1 beta. While not all features are fully operational or available yet, the updates showcase some exciting advancements. One of the highlights is a revamped Siri, which now boasts a fresh visual overhaul and the ability to maintain context between requests.

For instance, if a user asks, “How long does it take to get to London?” followed by “Where can I find a good hotel?” Siri will now understand the continuity of the requests, providing more cohesive and relevant responses.

In addition to this, Apple has introduced a new typing feature for Siri. Users can now interact with Siri by double-tapping the bottom of the screen, allowing them to input queries manually for those moments when voice commands are not ideal. Siri’s knowledge base has also expanded, now including insights into device settings and comprehensive Apple support documentation.

Furthermore, iOS 18.1 beta brings with it a new set of writing tools. These tools allow users to proofread free text and rewrite the tone of their writing with just a touch of a button. The options range from friendly to professional tones, giving users more control over their written communication.

Safari, Apple's web browser, isn’t left behind either. It now features a new summarize tool that provides an overview of any webpage, making it easier for users to digest content at a glance.

This is just the beginning of the new features and functionalities offered by iOS 18.1 beta, and there's much more to explore. Stay tuned for our main channel's upcoming full video, where we’ll delve into all the nuances of Apple Intelligence.
