Cupertino, CA – May 5, 2025 – Apple has officially announced a suite of new AI-powered tools and features in its upcoming iOS 18 release, signaling a major shift toward on-device intelligence and privacy-first innovation. During its spring keynote event, the tech giant showcased "Apple Intelligence," a new platform integrating generative AI with core apps like Messages, Photos, and Safari. Features include smart summarization, predictive scheduling, and context-aware photo editing—all processed directly on the device to maintain user privacy. Tim Cook, Apple CEO, described the update as “a defining moment for the iPhone,” highlighting that iOS 18 aims to blend powerful AI capabilities with the company’s longstanding commitment to privacy and security. iOS 18 will enter public beta in June, with a full release expected this fall alongside the iPhone 16 lineup.
