iPhone 15 Pro to Gain Visual Intelligence with Upcoming iOS Update

iPhone 15 Pro users are set to receive Visual Intelligence, a feature akin to Google Lens, through an upcoming iOS update, enhancing their device’s capabilities without the need for an upgrade.

If you’re rocking an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, get ready—your phone’s about to get even smarter. The next iOS update is rolling out something called Visual Intelligence (yeah, Apple’s throwing its hat in the ring against Google Lens). It’s part of their Apple Intelligence suite, and let me tell you, it’s pretty cool. Just point your camera at something, and boom—AI does its magic, analyzing whatever’s in front of you in real-time. Now, here’s the kicker: while the iPhone 16 will let you activate this with a long press on its fancy new camera button, us 15 Pro folks will have to make do with the Action button or a quick trip to Control Center. No dedicated button? No problem.

So, what can Visual Intelligence actually do? Oh, just about anything. Need to translate some foreign text on the fly? Done. Want the lowdown on a restaurant’s hours or menu? Easy. It even teams up with ChatGPT and Google Image Search to help you hunt down products or figure out where to buy them. And the best part? All this goodness is coming your way with iOS 18.4, turning your iPhone into even more of a Swiss Army knife than it already is.
