Apple CEO Tim Cook says Apple Intelligence changed his life as company gears up for AI launch.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Apple Intelligence is set to launch before the end of October and Apples CEO Tim Cook believes the AI tools have already changed his life.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal , Cook emphasized just how much he believes in Apple Intelligence, despite the messy launch of the
technology, which sees new features rolled out to users in phases over the next year.

We werent the first to do intelligence, Cook told the WSJ. But weve done it
in a way that we think is the best for the customer. At Apples WWDC keynote
in June, the company claimed Apple Intelligence was AI for the rest of us,
and in the interview Cook said that while Apple isnt the first company to introduce AI tools to a smartphone, the companys approach is Profoundly different.

He added that he believes the addition of Apple Intelligence will completely change the way people use the iPhone, iPad, and Mac in the same way the iPods click wheel or iPhones touch screen once did. I think well look back and it will be one of these air pockets that happened to get you on a different technology curve, he said.

Cook said one of his favorite Apple Intelligence features is the ability to summarize emails and notifications, which had, he told WSJ, changed my life. He added, If I can save time here and there it adds up to something significant across a day, a week, a month.

Apple Intelligence is expected to release on October 28, and while users who get to use Apple AI for the first time might find the limited features underwhelming at first, Apple is banking on small quality-of-life
improvements like email summaries making a huge difference to the way we use our devices.

Initially, Apple Intelligence will launch with Writing Tools , Notification Summaries , Clean Up, and a redesign of Siri which emanates from the edges of your device. These features are similar to other generative AI tools weve
seen on the best Android phones , including the Google Pixel 9, although this is with Apples polish and design.

Its an incredibly exciting time to be an iPhone, iPad, or Mac user with Apple Intelligences arrival upon us. While we cant fully predict the impact of Apples entrance into the AI industry, we anticipate that it's going to be significant. The first few months of Apple Intelligence might prove to be frustrating at times, with some of the best features held back until 2025,
but if these features prove as life-changing as Tim Cook suggests, we might
in time be able to forgive Apple for the less-than-seamless launch. You might also like... Apple Intelligence is two years behind ChatGPT iPhone 16 Pro review I've used Apple Intelligence Writing Tools and it supercharges the Notes app
