Upcoming iOS and macOS Updates to Automatically Activate Apple Intelligence

The next versions of iOS and macOS will automatically enable Apple Intelligence on compatible devices, offering users advanced AI features unless they choose to opt-out.

Apple’s gearing up to roll out its next big updates for iOS and macOS, and here’s the kicker: Apple Intelligence will switch on automatically if your device can handle it. Imagine getting a bunch of cool AI tricks—Genmoji for those times when words just won’t cut it, Image Playground to unleash your inner artist, and Notification Summaries to keep the chaos at bay—right out of the box. No fuss, no muss.

Not into the whole AI vibe? No sweat. You can flip these features off in settings faster than you can say ‘I prefer the old way.’ Apple’s all about making life easier, weaving these smart features into the OS so tightly you’ll forget they weren’t always there.

What’s in the Apple Intelligence goodie bag? A Siri that’s less ‘I didn’t catch that’ and more ‘I got you,’ writing tools that might just make you sound smarter, and yes, ChatGPT is joining the party. Some bits are still finding their feet (beta, folks), but Apple’s all ears for your two cents to polish things up.

With iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3 hitting the scene, Apple’s not just fixing the gremlins. They’re giving you the reins on features like Notification Summaries, because who doesn’t love a bit of control? All in all, it’s about making the Apple Intelligence playground as fun and frustration-free as possible.
