New Apple Intelligence features are available today (www.apple.com)

Apple today rolled out a broad wave of Apple Intelligence features across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26 and visionOS 26, bringing system‑level AI to iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Vision Pro. Highlights include Live Translation (real‑time captions and spoken translation in Messages, FaceTime, Phone and on AirPods with an all‑new gesture and ANC-assisted listening), visual intelligence that analyzes on‑screen content to search, summarize, translate or add events, enhanced Genmoji and Image Playground (now integrated with ChatGPT for creative styles), and Workout Buddy, a personalized, privacy‑aware coaching experience that speaks motivational insights using a new TTS model. Shortcuts can now call Apple Intelligence models to automate tasks like summarizing, extracting PDF data or generating images, and third‑party apps can tap the on‑device foundational LLM via a Swift framework with guided generation. Technically significant are Apple’s privacy and deployment choices: many models run entirely on‑device for offline inference, while more complex requests use Private Cloud Compute—Apple says user data isn’t stored or shared and independent experts can inspect cloud code on Apple silicon servers. Developer access is free, offline-capable, and integrated into the app stack, lowering barriers for native AI features. Language and regional rollouts are phased (initial beta languages listed; more languages coming later), so availability varies by device/locale, but the release marks a major push toward privacy‑centered, system‑wide AI on consumer devices.
