iPhone 16 series: Apple Intelligence features

Apple Intelligence will bring multiple generative AI features to assist with text-based content in native apps on compatible iPhones. These tools include Proofread, Rewrite, Summarise, and more, available on apps like Notes, Mail, and Messages.

Movie Memory in Photos
This feature will enable users to generate a short video from their existing photos and videos by prompting the AI with a brief text description.

With Apple Intelligence, searching for a specific moment in the Photos app will be easier, as the AI will be able to process images and find pictures that match the user’s description.
