Apple Intelligence Is Expanding Across The Entire Ecosystem

Apple shared a range of new Apple Intelligence features coming to iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, and Vision Pro.

Rather than focusing on a single AI assistant, Apple is building AI into everyday experiences like editing photos, organising browser tabs, creating automations, managing passwords, and handling communication.

The goal seems to be making AI part of the tools people already use rather than creating another destination users need to learn.

These features begin rolling out with:

• iOS 27

• iPadOS 27

• macOS 27

• watchOS 27

• visionOS 27

A public beta is expected next month, with broader availability later this year on supported devices.

Siri Is Getting A Major Update

Apple is updating Siri with new AI capabilities that help it understand personal context and take action across apps.

According to Apple, Siri can now search across messages, emails, photos, and files, answer questions using information from across your devices, and help complete tasks without needing step-by-step instructions.

Apple is positioning Siri more as a personal assistant than a traditional voice interface.

When available, try asking Siri things like:

• Find the restaurant my friend mentioned in a text message.

• Create a reminder from that email.

• Show me the photos from my last trip.

• Find the reservation details for my upcoming flight.

Photos Gets New AI Editing Tools

Apple is adding several new editing features to Photos.

Users can now adjust the composition of an image after it's been taken, expand images beyond their original borders, and remove unwanted distractions with improved editing tools.

One feature that stood out was the ability to reposition the perspective of a photo after it has been captured, helping improve composition without needing to retake the shot.

Once available:

• Use Spatial Reframing to adjust composition.

• Use Extend to expand an image beyond its original borders.

• Use the updated Clean Up tool to remove distractions.

Apple says AI-edited images will include hidden watermarks to help identify edited content.

Safari Can Now Monitor Websites For You

Safari is getting several AI-assisted features designed to make browsing easier.

It can automatically organise tabs into topics, monitor webpages for updates, and even create custom browser extensions based on a simple description.

One feature that stood out is called Notify Me.

Instead of manually checking a website, users can ask Safari to watch a page and send a notification when something changes.

Some examples include:

• Tracking product restocks.

• Monitoring ticket availability.

• Watching for price changes.

• Organising research tabs automatically.

Shortcuts Are Becoming Easier To Build

Apple is making Shortcuts more accessible by allowing people to describe an automation in plain English.

Instead of manually building every step, users can explain what they want and Shortcuts will create the workflow automatically.

For anyone interested in automation, this was one of the more practical announcements from the event.

With this update, users can:

• Set alarms based on tomorrow's calendar.

• Open specific apps when starting work.

• Trigger smart home actions based on notifications.

• Create personalised daily routines.
