apple latest software update activates ai by default

Apple launched a major software update on Monday for iPhones, Macs, and iPads, which activates Apple Intelligence by default for compatible devices. The updates have been named, iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3. 

These updates remove AI-generated summaries from new applications, which have faced criticism for distorting news alerts and offering misleading information. 

The release marks a significant moment in the introduction of Apple Intelligence, the company’s comprehensive suite of artificial intelligence capabilities. Apple Intelligence plays a major role for the company as it aims to set its products apart from rivals by adding an AI system to its devices. 

Apple Intelligence to be activated by default in latest software

Although Apple Intelligence has been the highlight in the market of the latest iPhones, its rollout has been cautious and selective. Apple explains that this approach allows thorough testing of new features and ensures adequate server capacity. 

Right now, the entire suite of Apple Intelligence remains in beta and is accessible only in a few English-speaking regions. By enabling Apple Intelligence by default, Apple is taking an important step towards a broader deployment of this feature. 

Earlier users who had compatible iPhones which were released in 2024 and 2023 Pro models were prompted to activate Apple Intelligence during the initial setup. This included downloading AI models from the internet and completing an installation process. 

With the new updates, Apple Intelligence will automatically activate when the users install the latest software, increasing the number of individuals who can experience the technology. Apple promotes Apple Intelligence as a tool that is capable of rewriting text, summarizing lengthy emails, and generating images and message threads. Apple has noted in the developer release notes for the update, “For those setting up or upgrading to iOS 18.3, Apple Intelligence will be automatically enabled during the onboarding process.”
