To use Apple Intelligence, first make sure it is switched on under Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri, then open the feature you want. You select text and tap Writing Tools to rewrite or proofread, open a photo and tap Clean Up to remove an object, describe an image in Image Playground, type a prompt in the emoji keyboard for a Genmoji, or point your camera and use Visual Intelligence to identify what is in front of you. Every feature lives inside an app you already use, so there is no separate Apple Intelligence app to open. If your Mac is too old for Apple Intelligence, we rounded up the […]

macOS 27 is the first version of macOS that will not run on a single Intel Mac. Apple confirmed the cutoff alongside the first developer beta on June 8, 2026. Golden Gate is an Apple-silicon-only release built around a rebuilt Siri AI, a refined Liquid Glass design, and deeper Apple Intelligence across the system. Four older models lose support outright, and even some Apple silicon Macs get the operating system but not the headline AI features. This guide answers the three questions people actually search for. Can your Mac run macOS 27, what is actually new, and when does it ship. You will also find the exact chip and memory […]

To turn off Apple Intelligence, open Settings on your iPhone or iPad (or System Settings on a Mac), tap Apple Intelligence & Siri, switch off Apple Intelligence, and tap Turn Off to confirm. That single toggle disables Writing Tools, Notification Summaries, Genmoji, Image Playground, Visual Intelligence, and the ChatGPT integration in Siri all at once, and it frees up to 7GB of storage because the on-device models are removed. This guide covers every way to switch Apple Intelligence off in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, from the master kill switch to disabling just the features that annoy you, like garbled notification summaries. You will also learn how to […]

Apple Intelligence is worth turning on if you already own a supported device, because it is free, private, and built into apps you use every day. It is not worth buying a new iPhone for on its own. The verdict shifted at WWDC 2026 on June 8, where Apple unveiled Siri AI running on a custom Google Gemini model, the upgrade that finally makes the assistant competitive with ChatGPT and Gemini on Android. If Siri stops responding after you turn it on, our guide on why Siri is not working walks you through the fixes. This guide gives you a straight answer on whether Apple Intelligence is worth it in […]

The iOS 27 public beta is live. Apple released it on July 14, 2026, and for the first time anyone can test the headline feature, a complete rebuild of Siri, without a developer account. Users in mainland China will get their own version of that Siri, running on Alibaba’s Qwen instead of ChatGPT. Apple unveiled iOS 27 at its WWDC 2026 keynote on June 8, 2026, and the free final release is still expected in September 2026 for every iPhone going back to the iPhone 11. If Siri stops responding during the beta, our guide on why Siri is not working covers the common fixes. This is the tracker you […]

Apple Intelligence is free, and you can turn it on in three taps on any supported iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You update your device to the latest software, open Settings, tap Apple Intelligence & Siri, and switch it on. The AI models then download in the background, which needs about 7 GB of free storage and a Wi-Fi connection. This guide walks you through the exact steps for every device, the supported-device list, how long the download takes, and what to do when the toggle is missing or greyed out. It also covers what changes this fall, when iOS 27 brings the next-generation Siri AI built on a custom Google […]

Apple Intelligence runs on iPhone 15 Pro and later, every iPhone 16 and 17 model, iPads with an M1 chip or the A17 Pro, and any Apple silicon Mac. That means the dividing line is hardware, not software, and the standard iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, and every iPhone 14 or older are locked out no matter which iOS version they run. The floor is the A17 Pro chip on iPhone and the M1 on iPad and Mac. This guide lists every supported device by category, names the exact chips and RAM each one needs, and flags the models that look eligible but are not. It also covers the new […]

Apple Intelligence is Apple’s built-in artificial intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and in 2026 it got its biggest overhaul yet. At WWDC 2026 on June 8, Apple introduced Siri AI, a far more capable assistant running on a custom Google Gemini model. It joins writing tools, image generation, photo editing, and notification summaries that already ship on hundreds of millions of devices. It runs most tasks on-device for privacy and sends heavier requests to Private Cloud Compute. This guide explains what Apple Intelligence is, exactly what it does, which iPhones, iPads, and Macs support it, and how the new Gemini-powered Siri AI changes things. You will also see […]

Apple just reset its entire AI strategy at WWDC 2026. In a keynote on June 8, the company rebranded Siri as Siri AI, built it on a new generation of Apple Foundation Models developed with Google Gemini, shipped iOS 27 and macOS 27 “Golden Gate,” and, in the move that matters most for you, opened a new Extensions framework that lets you set Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok as the default AI across the system. It was also Tim Cook’s final keynote as CEO before John Ternus takes over on September 1, capping it as the biggest AI shift in Apple’s history. If the rebuilt assistant ever stops responding, see […]

Yes, Siri is AI, but a limited kind. Since it launched on the iPhone 4S in October 2011, Siri has run on narrow AI. That means speech recognition, natural language processing, and machine learning tuned for specific tasks like setting timers, sending texts, and answering quick factual questions. It does not reason, hold a flowing conversation, or write you an essay the way ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini do. So when you say “Hey Siri,” you are talking to real artificial intelligence, just an older and narrower version of it. That definition just changed in a big way. At WWDC on June 8, 2026, Apple unveiled Siri AI, an entirely new […]
