Apple has announced the release of the first public beta version of iOS 18.1, along with iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1, ahead of the final launch in October. These updates mark the first to include new artificial intelligence features, branded as "Apple Intelligence." These innovations encompass writing tools and changes to the Siri smart assistant, offering text summarization and smart replies in messages and emails. It is worth noting that using the new "Apple Intelligence" features requires an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16, as well as iPads or Macs with Apple Silicon processors from the M series. The AI-driven writing and text tools provide spell-check, grammar correction, text rephrasing, summarization, and content summarization within the Siri browser. Source: Qatar News Agency
