Apple released a software update for iPhones, iPads and Macs that turns Apple Intelligence on by default for users with supported devices.
The updates, iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3 and macOS Sequoia 15.3, also disable AI summaries for news apps after the feature twisted news push notifications to display inaccurate facts.
The release is a milestone in the rollout of Apple Intelligence, the company's suite of artificial intelligence features. Apple Intelligence is a critical product for Apple as it seeks to distinguish its products from competitors with an AI system integrated into iPhones and its other products.While Apple Intelligence is already featured in the company's marketing for the latest iPhones, the rollout has been deliberate and limited.
With the latest updates, Apple Intelligence will be turned on by default when the latest software update is installed, expanding the number of users who are exposed to the software. Apple Intelligence is marketed as being able to rewrite text, generate images and summarize long emails and message threads."For users new or upgrading to iOS 18.3, Apple Intelligence will be enabled automatically during iPhone onboarding," Apple said in the developer release notes for the update.
The latest software update also includes one of the most notable example so far of Apple rolling back an AI feature after it generated controversy and subpar results. Appleas companies that were forced to roll back new AI features after it generated harmful content or"hallucinations" that weren't based in reality.
