Apple Is Bringing Visual Intelligence To the iPhone 15 Pro (theverge.com) 7

Apple's Google Lens-like took called Visual Intelligence is coming to the iPhone 15 Pro, according to John Gruber of Daring Fireball. It's unclear which update will offer the feature but Gruber speculates it could arrive with iOS 18.4 in April. From a report: Visual Intelligence was originally introduced with the initial iPhone 16 lineup in September, and Apple showed it off as a feature that you launched from the Camera Control button. But yesterday, Apple announced that Visual Intelligence would be available on the iPhone 16E, which does not have the Camera Control button, through its Action Button.

That suggested that the feature could technically work with the iPhone 15 Pro, which also has an Action Button, and now Apple is confirming that Visual Intelligence will indeed come to that phone and be available via the Action Button. You'll also be able to launch Visual Intelligence from the Control Center on the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple told Gruber.

    * Get information about animals and plants
    * Interact with text (like Read a short summary of the text, Translate it, read it aloud)
    * Create a calendar event from details on a poster or flyer
    * Ask ChatGPT for information about something the camera sees
    * Search Google for similar items

    I think there are apps that can already do all of these things without ai so it seems fairly useless to me, but I can really, definitly see people glorying in this featur

    • I think there are apps that can already do all of these things

      There are. But they don't transmit all your search data and response valuation to Apple.

      Why do you think Google came up with Lens to begin with?

  • How does an article on one website, about a blog post on another website that's making nothing more than a guess at what might happen, make it on the front page?

  • It's like we have that since 5 or 6 yats ago !

1 1 was a race-horse, 2 2 was 1 2. When 1 1 1 1 race, 2 2 1 1 2.
