On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we continue unpacking WWDC 2026 and take a closer look at iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate, and Apple's other new software updates coming this fall.00:00 — Intro & beta check-in00:42 — OS compatibility cuts: watchOS, iOS, macOS, tvOS, iPadOS09:49 — Sponsor: Claude11:08 — Liquid Glass refinements & redesigned icons14:10 — Shortcuts with natural language16:34 — Sidebar icons, extra-large widgets & foldable iPhone hints18:43 — Siri's new design & dynamic island shape20:20 — Siri AI in practice: autocorrect, clarifications, and daily use25:57 — Third-party AI extensions & region availability30:03 — Apple Intelligence across apps: Messages, Image Playground, Genmoji, Passwords, nutrition39:35 — macOS Golden Gate & the keynote's new format44:39 — iPadOS, watchOS, visionOS, tvOS, and HomeKit hintsiOS 27 supports the same iPhones as iOS 26, including the iPhone 11 and second-generation iPhone SE, giving the update the widest device compatibility of any iOS release to date.macOS Golden Gate drops Intel Macs entirely, confirming the end of an era that Apple flagged a year earlier when it said macOS Tahoe would be the final release for pre-Apple silicon machines. Four models that ran Tahoe miss out: the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019), the 13-inch MacBook Pro with four Thunderbolt 3 ports (2020), the 2020 iMac, and the 2019 Mac Pro. Golden Gate is also the last version with full Rosetta 2 support, meaning the translation layer that keeps Intel-built apps running on Apple silicon will disappear entirely after this release.iPadOS 27 raises its hardware floor to the A14 Bionic or M1 chip, cutting the fifth-generation iPad mini, the eighth-generation iPad, the third-generation iPad Air, the first-generation 11-inch iPad Pro, and the third-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro.watchOS 27 makes the steepest cuts in Apple Watch history, dropping the Series 6, Series 7, Series 8, original Ultra, and second-generation SE in a single wave and effectively erasing three years of device support at once. The only models that remain compatible are the Series 9, Series 10, Series 11, Ultra 2, Ultra 3, and SE 3.tvOS 27 drops two Apple TV models, the Apple TV HD from 2015 and the first-generation Apple TV 4K from 2017, leaving only the second- and third-generation Apple TV 4K boxes supported.In iOS 27, notifications now slide in from the left edge of the screen rather than dropping down from the top, and reaching Notification Centre requires swiping down from the top-left corner instead of the centre, freeing up that gesture for Siri. Other changes include colorful sidebar icons, real-time widget updates when an app is already open, extra-large Home Screen widgets, and web audio that no longer interrupts other system audio.The centerpiece of the update is Siri AI, which replaces Spotlight with a "Search or Ask" interface accessed by swiping down from the center of the display. Siri is designed to tone-match a user's own writing style when composing messages. Apple's pill-shaped Siri indicator is seemingly a hardware workaround for current Dynamic Island constraints, and a smaller Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro could allow the indicator to become a true circle. On the Apple Watch, Siri AI requires pairing with an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence. In the European Union, Siri AI is available on macOS and visionOS at launch but not on the iPhone or iPad.Apple Intelligence is also getting smarter Writing Tools and a composition assistant in Mail and Messages that adapts to how a user typically communicates with different contacts. Apple has overhauled Genmoji, adding a "Describe a change" interface for iterating on existing creations and the ability to start a new Genmoji from an existing emoji, a photo, or a person tagged in the user's photo library. Image Playground similarly adds support for multiple aspect ratios for wallpapers, Contact Posters, and social media images, alongside new photorealistic image generation.Visual Intelligence, meanwhile, gets a new primary entry point called Siri Mode, though holding down Camera Control still works as an alternative. The feature is expanding to the iPad and Mac, and now supports importing multiple calendar events from a single photo of a flyer, as well as importing contacts directly from a photographed business card.On the Mac, macOS Golden Gate extends toolbars and sidebars to the edges of the screen with a more consistent, tighter corner radius across windows. iPadOS 27 adds undo and redo for Home Screen edits, extra-large widgets in Today View, an optional persistent menu bar, and Visual Intelligence support for screenshots combined with Apple Pencil highlighting. Notes gains an Image Wand tool that generates photorealistic images from rough sketches, the Siri app gets a dedicated sidebar with full windowing support, and Shortcuts adds support for Magic Keyboard triggers.watchOS 27 drops the Walkie-Talkie app entirely, with the feature missing from both the app list and Control Center in the first developer beta, while adding new Smart Stack suggestions, more accurate step tracking, and a consolidated Find My app. visionOS 27 lets users activate Siri simply by looking at its on-screen bubble rather than requiring a button press, and adds a redesigned Control Center along with new curved windows. tvOS 27 brings a redesigned Podcasts app, Hi-Res Lossless audio support in Apple Music, and on-device processing for HomeKit Secure Video.Ready to tackle bigger problems?

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through all of the major rumors surrounding Apple's announcements at WWDC 2026.00:00 Introduction01:50 Why This WWDC Matters02:58 The New Siri App06:32 Siri Replaces Spotlight and New Gestures11:55 Third-Party AI and Extensions Marketplace19:10 Siri Across First-Party Apps22:13 Photos, Health, and AI Editing26:28 Natural Language Shortcuts28:34 Camera, Safari, Wallet, and AirPods38:11 macOS and Apple Silicon Only43:06 Smart Home Hub, Foldable iPhone, and Other Platforms51:54 Wrap-UpThe event's tagline, "All Systems Glow," is widely seen as a hint at Siri's new design. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has reported that Apple is rebuilding Siri as a full chatbot to compete with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, complete with a dedicated app, Dynamic Island integration, and a new system-wide search interface wrapped in a dark, glowing aesthetic that matches the WWDC branding. The dedicated Siri app for back-and-forth conversations is said to be modeled on iMessage, with voice input and the ability to attach images and documents. Users will reportedly be able to set conversation history to auto-delete after 30 days, one year, or never.A new system-wide interface called “Search or Ask" purportedly replaces Siri Suggestions entirely, triggered by swiping down from the top center of the screen. From there, users can launch apps, start texts, set reminders, trigger Shortcuts, or query Apple's new AI web search, which Gurman says Apple is positioning as a Perplexity competitor. Results allegedly appear as a translucent card in the Dynamic Island, and swiping further opens the full Siri app. Notification Center moves to a top-left swipe, while Control Center stays top-right.The new Siri will reportedly be able to answer multi-part questions, maintain conversational context, summarize uploaded documents, generate images, and draw on personal data across first-party apps like Mail, Messages, Photos, Notes, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders. Apple is said to be powering it with a custom model based on Google's Gemini, after its own models reportedly fell short. Gurman says the personalized Siri still carries a "beta" label in internal builds, and there is a "strong chance" it ships that way, more than two years after Apple first showed it off at WWDC 2024.iOS 27 will also purportedly introduce an "Extensions" feature letting users choose which AI service powers Siri, with a dedicated App Store section for third-party integrations. Users will reportedly be able to set ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others as the default for Writing Tools, Image Playground, and more, with third-party responses using a distinct voice so users can tell which is speaking. Apple has also reportedly held talks with developers about deeper agentic integrations, and is said to be replacing Core ML with a new Core AI framework.Apple is reportedly giving the Camera app a major overhaul, moving Visual Intelligence from the Camera Control button into a dedicated Siri mode inside the app. Apple is also purportedly making the interface fully customizable via a widget tray, letting users arrange controls like flash, exposure, timer, and depth of field. Visual Intelligence will allegedly also gain the ability to scan nutrition labels for Health app tracking and read contact details from business cards.Photos is said to be getting three new AI editing tools alongside the existing Clean Up feature. "Extend" generates content beyond the original frame, "Reframe" changes the perspective of spatial photos, and "Enhance" applies automatic color and lighting adjustments. Writing Tools are reportedly getting a grammar checker with per-suggestion accept and reject controls, and keyboard autocorrect is said to be gaining Grammarly-style alternative word suggestions.Apple is reportedly redesigning Image Playground with a simpler interface and new models producing more lifelike images. Genmoji is allegedly getting a new model that improves quality and reduces battery drain, with a Suggested Genmoji feature drawing on the user's media and messages. AI-generated wallpapers are also reportedly coming, with Image Playground built into the wallpaper picker.The Wallet app is purportedly gaining a "Create a Pass" feature for digitizing physical tickets and membership cards, and Apple Cash is reportedly getting a bill-splitting feature that lets users photograph a receipt, assign items to individuals, and send payment requests via Wallet or Messages. Shortcuts is said to be getting a natural language interface for building automations by description.Other notable changes include a system-wide Liquid Glass opacity slider that Apple apparently couldn't get working in iOS 26, the option to beam content to AirPlay alternatives like Google Cast (reportedly EU-only as a DMA requirement), and expanded satellite features including Apple Maps and photo sharing over satellite.Apple also previewed a wide range of accessibility improvements ahead of WWDC, including AI-powered descriptions in VoiceOver and Magnifier, an upgraded Accessibility Reader for complex document layouts, automatic video captionsgenerated on-device, and a new FaceTime API for live sign language interpretation. For visionOS, Apple is adding Power Wheelchair Control using Vision Pro's eye-tracking, Vehicle Motion Cues for users in moving vehicles, and face gesture support for system actions.Leaker "Instant Digital" claims iOS 27 will drop support for the iPhone 11 lineup and second-generation iPhone SE, requiring at least an iPhone 12, with Apple Intelligence continuing to require an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. macOS 27 is said to share the same Siri and Apple Intelligence upgrades, with refinements to Liquid Glass and the same performance focus. It will reportedly be Apple silicon only, dropping all remaining Intel Macs, and is said to be the last release to include full Rosetta support.Gurman described iOS 27 overall as a "Snow Leopard" update, with Apple prioritizing stability, code cleanup, and battery life gains alongside the new features. The keynote begins June 8 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, with developer betas expected the same day and a public release in September.
Apple está a punto de mover una de las piezas más interesantes de los últimos años. Según 9to5Mac, iOS 27 incluirá un sistema llamado Extensions que permitirá integrar modelos de terceros —Gemini, Claude y compañía— en Siri, Writing Tools, Image Playground y otras funciones del sistema. Es decir, Apple Intelligence dejaría de ser un modelo cerrado para convertirse en una capa de distribución: tú eliges el motor, Apple pone el chasis. En este episodio analizamos qué implica este giro estratégico, las dudas razonables sobre privacidad y el paralelismo con OpenRouter. También repasamos los 250 millones de dólares que Apple paga por la demanda sobre Apple Intelligence, el cifrado de extremo a extremo en RCS que llega con iOS 26.5, el acuerdo con Intel para diversificar fabricación, el nuevo modo Siri en cámara, el liderazgo del iPhone 17 en ventas y el choque de Apple TV con Sky por los derechos de la Fórmula 1.Únete a TELEGRAMConviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/el-garaje-de-cupertino--3153796/support.

News and Updates: Roblox Age Tiers: Roblox is introducing "Roblox Kids" and "Roblox Select" tiers in June, implementing strict chat and content restrictions based on age-specific maturity labels. Roblox now requires video selfies or ID uploads for chat usage, despite concerns over biometric data privacy and the resale of verified accounts. Netgear FCC Exemption: The FCC granted Netgear a temporary exemption from the foreign-made router ban after the Defense Department found no national security risks. Meta Overtakes Google: Meta is projected to become the world's top digital advertiser this year, surpassing Google with an estimated $243.46 billion in net revenue. Meta's success is fueled by Reels and AI recommendation systems, which increased U.S. watch time by 30% and improved video-generation ad tools. Windows 11 De-branding: Microsoft is removing "Copilot" branding from apps like Notepad and Snipping Tool, opting for more generic labels like "Writing Tools" and "Advanced features." Netflix Price Hikes: Netflix raised monthly subscription prices for every tier by up to 12.5%, with the Premium ad-free plan now reaching a high of $27.
Auf diesem Kanal wird nicht zu selten über Microsoft gelästert, geschimpft, geklagt. Sowohl aus der Sicht von Nutzern mit gehobenen Ansprüchen, als auch der eines Admin. Umso mehr freut es uns, wenn Microsoft nicht nur Verbesserungen ankündigt, sondern tatsächlich Taten folgen lässt: Microsoft reduziert die Integration von Copilot in ersten Schritten. Aus dem Snipping Tool fliegt Copilot komplett heraus, in Notepad wird zumindest das Branding entfernt, als "Writing Tools" deutlich subtiler aufgeführt. Kleine Schritte, aber immerhin. Amazon stellt den Support für alte Kindle-Geräte ein. Immer nicht schön, aber in diesem speziellen Fall nachvollziehbar. Es geht hier nämlich um wirklich alte Geräte. Die neuesten Modelle sind aus dem Jahr 2012, das Jahr in dem der dem Maya-Kalender endete. Zur Erinnerung: Da endete auch mal wieder die Welt. Es war also nicht nur ein mittelmäßiger Emmerich-Film. Apple steht vor einem Luxus-Problem: Das Macbook Neo ist einfach zu erfolgreich. Der darin enthaltene SoC A18 Pro ist eine Resteverwertung von Chips, die nicht für das iPhone 16 Pro geeignet waren, sei es weil die GPU nicht voll funktionsfähig ist, sei es weil sie bei Taktfrequenzen oder Energiebedarf nicht die Voraussetzungen erfüllen. Und dieser Vorrat an "Ausschussware" ist zuende. Viel Spaß mit Folge 303!

Book recommendation: "Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer" by Roy Peter Clark***Join Better Writers - https://fabiocerpelloni.com/private/
Gonzalo E. Mon When Apple announced the iPhone 16 last year, it advertised that it would be “the first iPhone built for Apple Intelligence.” Apple touted several AI features and advertised that Apple Intelligence is “Available Now.” In reality, some features – including Priority Notifications, Image Generation, and the ChatGPT integration into Siri and Writing Tools – were not available at the time of launch. A disclosure at the bottom of the Apple Intelligence page explained: “Some features will become available in software updates in the coming months.”
Real Life: Devon would like to make one thing clear: queso is fine. Queso is acceptable. Just… not on everything, okay? Some of us still want to taste the actual food under the goo. That said, he did just survive a kid's pool party, so maybe he's earned the right to eat whatever the hell he wants — even fake grass, which he claims is "for winners." We're choosing not to dig into that statement. Steven, meanwhile, embraced the full Force of May 4th with joy, lightsabers, and an animated binge of Tales of the Empire — now fully released and featuring everyone's favorite dead-or-maybe-not-dead villainess Asaaj Ventress and the cowboy space bug bounty hunter Cad Bane. Is she still canonically dead? Who knows anymore. The rule is: if you didn't see the body dissolve, they can always come back. Also, Steven's forge is officially up and running. That's right — he's now a blacksmith. We're still waiting to see if this is a long-term thing or just a midlife crisis in steel-toed boots. Over in The Last of Us land, Season 2 Episode 4 dropped, and fans collectively screamed, cried, and probably tweeted GIFs because one of the game's most beloved scenes finally made it to screen — and yes, they nailed it. In a good way. Not like a fungal-mutant-jaw-through-your-neck way. Ben went to a roller derby bout in Irvine (report: chaotic and excellent), wandered the capitalist labyrinth that is Daiso, and wants to remind you it's Teacher Appreciation Week. So tell a teacher they rock, preferably with coffee, snacks, or a handwritten note of pure gratitude. Future or Now Ben brought us Writing Tools, a sleek, free, open-source app created by a high school student in Bangalore (hi, Jesai!) that gives Mac, Windows, and Linux users a system-wide writing boost via AI. It fixes grammar, summarizes content, and even helps you rewrite your angsty emails into something that won't get you fired. Bonus points for working offline and being featured basically everywhere. Teachers, students, chaotic creatives — check it out on GitHub. This also led us down the rabbit hole: Are LLMs bad? Short answer: not inherently. Long answer: come back next week for a full debate, complete with Devon's skeptical eyebrows and Ben's tech optimism. Devon watched Mickey 17, and the verdict is… “eh?” He appreciated the weirdness but didn't feel like the weird ever came together in a satisfying way. Unlike Parasite, which he still recommends, Mickey 17 left him shrugging with existential confusion, which is not his preferred flavor of sci-fi. Steven hit us with some mouse science: researchers have engineered gut bacteria that can detoxify methylmercury in mice, even when those mice are on a diet of bluefin tuna. The mice — and their babies — showed fewer signs of mercury poisoning. This means your sushi habit may one day come with a side of helpful microbes. Until then, maybe cool it on the sashimi. Book Club: This week, we read A Brief Dance to the Music of the Spheres by Michael Kurland (from The Best of Omni Science Fiction, 1983). It's a sleek, sharp short story that offers a fresh take on the Fermi Paradox: if there's intelligent life out there, why haven't we seen it? The story gives us a possible answer — one we won't spoil here, except to say it involves jazz, physics, and a little cosmic humility. You can read it on Archive.org or listen to the adaptation here. Next week: we're diving into Jorge Luis Borges' There Are More Things. Yes, it's a Borges horror story. Yes, we're terrified and delighted. Yes, Devon has thoughts. Got thoughts on queso, metal mice, or fictional villains who refuse to stay dead? Hit us up. And thank a teacher. Seriously. They've seen some things.

In a world where A.I. can write all of the words for free, what is a copywriter to do? What tools should they adopt and how should they approach artificial intelligence? I invited Petter Magnusson, the creator of PurposeWrite, to join me on The Copywriter Club Podcast to discuss these questions and talk through how copywriters can use tools like his to serve our clients better. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript. Stuff to check out: Petter on LinkedIn PurposeWrite (sign up for a free trial) The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground Full Transcript: Rob Marsh: It's been three years since ChatGPT launched and changed the world. So what does A.I. mean for copywriting today? This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. When OpenA.I. released the first version of ChatGPT to the public, what had been a quiet conversation about artificial intelligence happening mostly behind the scenes suddenly burst into our collective consciousness. Writers and creators in particular were suddenly aware that at least at some level, these large language models could do some of the work we were being hired to do. Many of us dove into these tools to see what they could do. We launched a short-lived podcast that talked about how A.I. was impacting so many different ways of working, certainly within marketing, but also in many other industries. You can find the 20+ episodes of that podcast on The Copywriter Club website. Since that time, the dust has settled a bit. The A.I. tools have gotten a bit better. Image creation tools are significantly better. Writing tools have also improved, but it remains true today that the best copywriters seem to be able to use them to get the best outputs… if you want good copy, copy that captures attention and converts readers into buyers, it helps a lot to have a copywriter guide the inputs and rework the outputs you get from the A.I. model of your choice. Another thing we've seen in over the past couple of years is that while tools like ChatGPT and Claude get most of the headlines, lots of other tools have added components of artificial intelligence to improve their products, speed up useage, and make applications more sticky. At the same time we've seen the launch of job-specific A.I. tools that do one thing… like writing emails, or writing articles at speeds humans simply can't match. So when it comes to A.I., where are we headed next? What tools will we be using to get better results? And how helpful is it to have a user or prompt engineer or copywriter who really knows what they're doing versus just playing around to see what they can get a model to do? I asked Petter Magnusson, the developer of PurposeWrite to talk a bit about A.I., the tool he's built, and also the broader environment of artificial intelligence and where he sees us going from here. And because whatever happens with A.I. will have a big impact on copywriters, this is a topic I may come back to in the coming weeks. This whole industry is fascinating. The speed of change is a bit scary. During our conversation, I had a realization. In the past copywriters charged for the things we delivered… the words. Officially we sold blog posts or sales pages or emails or some other copy, but it was the words that clients expected to get. But now that ChatGPT can produce the words pretty much for free, we need to move up the value chain and sell the process, the strategy, the analysis, and the ideas. And bringing that to the A.I. model you use will make the outputs there so much better. Any way… I think this is a discussion you'll enjoy. Before we get to my interview with Petter, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground. Unless you are hitting the 30 second skip button when you get to this point of the show, you are no doubt familiar with The Copywriter Underground. I talk about it every week.

Co-hosts Mark Thompson and Steve Little share their predictions for artificial intelligence developments in 2025, with a special focus on how these changes will affect genealogists and family historians.They explore the emergence of AI agents, the shift to running language models locally on personal devices, and the introduction of chatbots to social media platforms. Mark and Steve also discuss how AI writing tools will become mainstream, even as costs decrease and capabilities increase.Their predictions include both opportunities and challenges, examining which tools may thrive and which may disappoint in the coming year. They conclude with "anti-predictions" – capabilities that, despite high hopes, probably won't materialize in 2025.Timestamps:What We Can Look Forward to In 202501:02 AI Agents: The Next Big Thing08:06 Local Language Models: Improved Privacy and Security13:09 Social Media Chatbots: Coming to Your Groups18:24 AI Writing Tools: The New Normal24:16 AI Costs: Dropping Fast30:43 The AI Horse Race: Who Will Lead?Anti-Predictions: What Won't Happen in 202536:01 Handwritten Text Recognition40:21 AI Generated Family Trees and Diagrams44:06 Generated Text in ImagesResource Links:Using Claude for 'Computer Use' Tasks https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/computer-useOpenAI's Operator Agent https://openai.com/index/introducing-operator/Facebook's New AI Tool for Groups https://aigenealogyinsights.com/2024/10/22/exploring-facebooks-new-ai-tool-for-groups/What to Know About DeepSeek and How It Is Upending A.I. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/technology/what-is-deepseek-china-ai.htmlTrump's $500B Stargate AI Initiative https://www.forbes.com/sites/ronshevlin/2025/01/23/trumps-ai-push-understanding-the-500-billion-stargate-initiative/Tags:artificial intelligence, technology, genealogy, family history, AI predictions, AI agents, local AI, social media, chatbots, AI writing, language models, OpenAI, DeepSeek, privacy, security, AI costs, machine learning, computer automation, research tools, future technology

Welcome to the DMF. Where I try to find out what motivates people behind the scenes in the world of acting and entertainment. Today on the podcast I am talking to film director and podcaster: Damien Swaby. It's question time. As always you can reach me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with my name Justin Younts. Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy. Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this episode, I dive into the importance of daily routines and how they can shape our creative processes. I always ask my guests about their beginning of the day routines, and it's fascinating to hear the variety of answers. For me, I don't have a strict morning routine, but I do find peace in the mornings, which I cherish. Many people swear by their routines, whether it's a quick workout or a moment of meditation, but I've found that my creativity often flows better later in the day. One of the key takeaways from this conversation is the discipline of writing. I emphasize the importance of writing a page a day. This practice not only helps in completing drafts faster but also enhances the overall quality of the work. I've learned that when you commit to writing daily, you often exceed that goal, leading to more fulfilling and enjoyable writing sessions. It's a discipline that can transform your creative output. We also discuss the tools I use for screenwriting, like Celtx, which I find invaluable for organizing my thoughts and communicating effectively with my team. The right software can make a significant difference in how we present our stories and collaborate with others in the filmmaking process. Additionally, I touch on the importance of understanding language and linguistics, which can greatly aid in character development. By exploring how language works, we can create more authentic and relatable characters in our scripts. As we wrap up, I share my current interests in music and television, including my newfound appreciation for shows like Grey's Anatomy and The Penguin. These experiences remind me of the value of revisiting the past while also embracing new narratives. If you're looking to enhance your creative process, I encourage you to find your own daily routine that works for you, whether it's writing, reading, or simply taking time to reflect. Remember, the journey of creativity is unique to each of us, and finding what inspires you is key to unlocking your potential.

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to use Writing Tools in iOS 18.1. Writing Tools, released as part of the first set of Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.1 is an impressive feature that allows users to rewrite text in different tones, such as friendly, professional, and concise, with an added proofread option.To use this feature, open the text you want to edit and highlight it. Within the Edit section of your Rotor, you'll find the Writing Tools option. Different tone options will appear for you to choose from. Select the desired tone, and iOS will automatically adjust the text accordingly. If you opt for the proofread option, it will check for grammatical and stylistic errors, providing suggestions for improvement. This feature makes it easier to tailor your writing for different contexts and ensure it's polished and effective.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Hello and welcome.My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse.I'm going to be talking to you about an Apple Intelligent feature called the writing tools.Now this is one of my most favorite feature of the Apple Intelligent that Apple has to offer.Now in order to be able to use the Apple Intelligent, you must need the following iPhone criteria, which is iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or newer devices.If you have those devices, then you will earn luck.The first thing we need to do is make sure that Apple Intelligent is turned on.Simple enough to turn it on, you'll have to head over to your settings.So let's head over to settings, and let's do one finger double tap and open this.And now what we're looking for, we're looking for Apple Intelligent in Siri, so swipe to the right until you find that button.One finger double tap, open that.Now you may have heard the word beta.Well, at this time of the podcast that's being recorded, it is in beta.So Apple Intelligent is in beta at this moment.Now if you don't hear the beta, don't worry.That might mean that the beta is no longer in beta.So to make sure we are in the same place in this right area, let's go to the very top left hand corner where you have the back button.To get to there, you can either tap at the top left or use a forefinger tap on the top half of your device until you hear the back button.Now if you swipe to the right, that's where you heard the beta.Now in your case, if you don't hear the beta, have no worries, let's keep going to the right.Now we're into the Apple Intelligent section.Now if you go to the right here, a personal intelligence system integrated deeply into your iPhone apps and Siri, learn more link, use the rotor to access links.You can do that if you wish.If you want to find more information about the Apple Intelligent and all the features that has to offer, double tap that and I'll take you to the web page at Apple to talk to you about more about Apple Intelligent.But what we're looking for is the option to turn the Apple Intelligent on and that should be the next item up.If you go to the…
