At WWDC 2024, Apple unveiled its new AI system, Apple Intelligence, exclusively available on the latest iPhone 15 Pro and M-series iPads and Macs. The limited release is due to the need for high computing power to run large language models efficiently. Apple's SVP of ML and AI Strategy, John Giannandrea, explained the technical reasons behind this decision, emphasizing the importance of device speed and power. Despite assumptions that this is a ploy to boost device sales, Apple's Marketing Chief Greg Joswiak clarified that newer iPads and Macs are also compatible with Apple Intelligence. This new system will bring AI-powered features like Writing Tools and enhanced Siri capabilities to users. The iPhone 15 Pro stands out as a flagship device with the A17 Pro SoC, supporting hardware-based ray tracing and console-quality game ports. IGN's review gave the iPhone 15 Pro a stellar 9/10 rating, praising its advanced features and performance.
