So let's go through some highlights of Apple intelligence.

There's some stuff that makes the iPhone experience easier using AI.

So for example, the new update can summarize and prioritize your communication.

So for example, in the mail app, there will be a new priority section that surfaces the most important threads at the top of your inbox.

In your notifications, there'll be a new priority section for the most important notifications across any app.

And in your home screen, when you have a bunch of texts going on in chat, there will now be a summary that captures all of what's been discussed.

So you don't have to flip through all the notifications one by one.

These are really nice, easy ways for AI to add to the iPhone experience.

Our email inboxes are only getting more and more busy.

I just remember all those times I've seen friends with literally tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of unread emails.

And we're getting more notifications than ever too.

Every single app on our phone wants us to turn on notifications because it makes us open their apps more.

So now we have an entirely new inbox on our lock screens because our own apps are spamming us.

So adding AI makes it all get back to normal a bit.

Okay, let's talk about the real fun stuff.

The vision of the personal AI system is something that has been around for nearly 10 years.

Every tech company was chasing it even back then.

That's where Apple Siri came from, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa.

But none of them got anywhere close to that vision, mostly because the tech just wasn't there.

So you were stuck trying to memorize specific commands that you knew worked with them rather than something you can directly tell what to do in your own language and have it understand you.
