Published 15:03 IST, December 31st 2024 The iPhone 16 Plus not only comes with the Camera and Action buttons but also one of Apple’s most hyped features this year, that is, Apple Intelligence. iPhones have always been trendsetters in the smartphone industry. Be it ditching the charger, for which Samsung had mocked the company at the time, or introducing the Dynamic Island notch or the Face ID, Apple's smartphones have introduced features that have been copied by Android smartphones across price points.
But this year was different. Apple, instead of setting a new trend, followed Android phones in introducing a feature that has upgraded the terminology used by the mobile phone industry -- artificial intelligence or AI. For those who have been away from the news world, Apple brought AI, or as the company likes to call it Apple Intelligence, to its iPhone models for the first time this year.
However, in classic Apple fashion, the company didn't restrict itself to throwing features such as AI Eraser, AI Summary and AI Deblur or bringing 'native support' for ChatGPT app to its iPhones. Instead, it went a step ahead by integrating ChatGPT in its operating system. Result was an app such as Image Playground that let users create images from scratch and smarter features such as contextual and on-screen awareness for Siri and ChatGPT integration within Apple's apps and services -- besides bringing AI eraser and AI summary to the mix.
While these features do bring Apple's iPhones up to.
