Report: New “Apple Intelligence” AI features will be opt-in by default

Apple reportedly plans to announce its first big wave of AI features at WWDC.

The general consensus is that Apple plans to use this year's updates to integrate generative AI into its products for the first time. These include summaries for webpages, meetings, and missed notifications; a revamped version of Siri that can control apps in a more granular way; Voice Memos transcription; image enhancement features in the Photos app; suggested replies to text messages; automated sorting of emails; and the ability to "create custom emoji characters on the fly that represent phrases or words as they're being typed." Gurman doesn't expect Apple to announce any hardware at the event, though a number of Macs are past due for a M3- or M4-powered refresh.
