Apple Intelligence Expands Across iPhone Lineup with New Features
Broader Device Compatibility
Apple Intelligence is available on the iPhone 17 family and also supports earlier devices, including the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, and their Plus and Max variants. This expanded coverage lets more users benefit from the AI‑driven tools.
Prioritize Notifications
The new Prioritize Notifications feature lifts important alerts—such as weather warnings, messages from frequent contacts, and actionable emails—to the top of the lock‑screen list, highlighted with an Apple Intelligence shimmer. Users can enable it in Settings and adjust priority for individual apps.
Automatic Summaries
Apple Intelligence can generate concise, single‑sentence summaries for incoming texts, emails, and web pages. In Messages, a brief summary appears alongside each notification. Users can also tap a Summarize button in Mail or Safari’s Reader view to see a short rundown of longer content.
Enhanced Siri Experience
Siri now displays a multicolored halo when powered by Apple Intelligence and offers a more forgiving interaction style. Users can invoke Siri silently by double‑tapping the bottom edge of the screen (Tap to Siri) or by using a keyboard shortcut on a Mac, avoiding the spoken “Hey Siri” command.
Reduce Interruptions Focus Mode
The Reduce Interruptions Focus mode adds an AI‑powered filter that lets essential notifications break through while suppressing less important ones. When active, it may surface alerts like weather updates or banking messages, marked as “Maybe Important.” Users enable it from the Control Center.
Clean Up in Photos
The Photos app now includes a Clean Up tool that uses generative AI to remove unwanted objects from images. After selecting an area, the app fills the gap with plausible pixels, offering a quick way to tidy photos without third‑party editors.
