Apple has started integrating OpenAI’s ChatGPT into its devices in the latest update to the iOS, according to a statement by the iPhone maker on Wednesday, December 11.
The move aims to enhance user experience and increase the sales of Apple’s latest iPhones during the peak holiday shopping season.
The update introduces Artificial Intelligence-powered tools to Apple’s operating systems for iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers.
The ChatGPT integration is available on the latest iPhone 16 models, as well as the Pro and Pro Max versions of the iPhone 15 series.
It is also compatible with iPads equipped with A17 Pro or M1 chips and, later, Mac computers powered by M1 chips and newer versions.
Apple said, “And now, with ChatGPT integrated into Writing Tools and Siri, users can tap into ChatGPT’s expertise without having to switch between apps, helping them get things done faster and easier than ever before.”
Siri and Writing Tools features to do much more
The integration, part of the Apple Intelligence suite announced in June, brings more innovation to Siri, Apple’s voice assistant.
The feature will leverage ChatGPT’s advanced capabilities to assist users with tasks such as analysing photos, refining documents like presentations, and generating creative content.
Apple’s new Writing Tools feature allows users to create written content in supported apps, while ChatGPT’s image generation abilities can enhance visual projects.
Apple also rolled out a language support feature
The company also unveiled new language support for its devices, which will allow users to use them in more ways.
It said, “Today, Apple Intelligence also begins language expansion with localised English support for Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K., giving even more users around the world powerful new ways to use their iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
“Additional languages, including Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese will be coming throughout the year, with an initial set arriving in a software update in April.”
