It’s Glowtime, baby. Apple’s cringe-worthy title for their recent event proved fitting, with a constant flow of “Apple Intelligence” features tossed around — oh, and some new devices. Few of these features were actually new, with Apple just remarketing previously announced tools, from emoji creation to text editing, but still. All of Apple’s features are examples of “edge AI,” a term used to describe AI tasks handled primarily on-device, only relying on servers for the most advanced tasks. The advantage for users should be speed and privacy, at the cost of power and accuracy. For Apple, the advantage is that they can justify why these features won’t work on older iPhones. The best of these is the ability to take a picture of a poster or flyer and add the event to your calendar.
