Apple celebrates the end of the month of October last year with the release of new products covering all product lines, from the iPad mini 7 with the A17 Pro chip, the iMac M4, the Mac mini with the M4 chips and M4 Pro, and the latest MacBook Pro with the M4 chip, M4 Pro and M4 at most.
One of the main reasons is that the latest operating system update will allow users of Apple devices to experience Apple Intelligence, the first official set of artificial intelligence (AI) technology features. Helps improve user experience.
This shows Apple’s focus on developing devices that are more than just work tools, with the development of AI that makes use more natural and flexible.
Apple Intelligence is integrated throughout iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, powered by Apple Silicon to understand and shape language and images. Jump between apps and extract the user’s specific context To make common tasks in everyday life easier and faster.
More importantly, the processing is done on the device and there is Private Cloud Computing that allows scaling and scaling of computing capabilities. between processing on the machine and larger modules on the server. It runs on dedicated Apple Silicon servers No data is stored or shared. Ensures privacy that information is not leaked anywhere.
The feature will be available in English (US) first, followed by local English in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom in December. Including support for other languages such as English (Singapore), French, Japanese and Spanish Additional support will be added gradually within the next year. For Thai language, you have to wait first.
Advantages of using AI in the first set
Writing Tools or writing tools can transcribe informal writing messages to friends. Or change your writing to be more formal for business communication. Check your writing properly. Includes text summaries in all writable applications.
Siri has been redesigned and is better than before. The Photos app comes with a Cleanup tool to remove unwanted items. Use natural language to find photos you want including creating impressive memories Summarize calls for Mail, Messages, and other apps Summarize transcripts in Notes and Telephone, etc.
As for other user features, they will be available gradually this year and next year Image Playground, which allows users to create fun pictures. or Image Wand to make notes more interesting by turning rough sketches into beautiful images.

After the launch of the iPhone 16 and Apple Watch series in September. Various products were launched to continuously increase interest. It represents the advancement of Apple Silicon’s performance and capabilities, helping to attract users who want to upgrade to more powerful functionality.
Although the A17 Pro chip used in iPhone 15 Pro and iPad mini 7, as well as the M1 chips or later, supports Apple Intelligence AI features, giving a- include AI-related features such as image processing and feature integration, Machine Learning for tasks such as face recognition, object recognition, audio processing. And responding to voice commands, etc., there is a Neural Engine that supports the work of AI in many features effectively.
But newer chips have been developed to have better AI performance. More than ever with faster and more accurate Machine Learning processing. and is better able to perform deep learning that requires complex data management.
