Apple’s artificial intelligence (AI) feature, Apple Intelligence, has been partially rolled out and can now be used on iPhone smartphones, iPad tablets, and Mac computers. The company says it is the beginning of a “new era.”
At the same time, Apple announced a new 24-inch desktop computer, the iMac, equipped with its own M4 processor.
According to Apple’s announcement on the 28th, the price of the iMac will start at $1,299 (¥198,800 on the official Japanese website), the same as the previous model. The neural-powered engine will support up to AI tasks. In addition to the standard silver, there are the colors green, orange, pink, blue, yellow and purple. Bookings start on this day. It will be in stores on November 8.
Apple unveiled a series of AI-related features in June, but this rollout only scratches the surface. It includes a writing tool for summarizing and editing texts, a new visual interface for the digital assistant Siri, and a function for summarizing text messages and other notifications. Important functions like an advanced version of Siri and AI image generation will be rolled out in the future.
Apple Intelligence features like the highly anticipated ChatGPT integration, image editing tools, and custom emojis will have to wait until December. Siri upgrades and device support in the European Union (EU) will be available from April onwards.
