iPhones Are About to Become Spying Devices: Apple Intelligence Coming to iOS 18.1
In a move that’s raising serious concerns about privacy and surveillance, Apple is about to unleash its “Intelligence” feature on iPhone users. According to a recent report, iOS 18.1, set to drop on October 28th, will introduce AI-powered notification summaries, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Your iPhone is Listening, and It’s About to Get a Lot Worse
With Apple Intelligence, your phone will be able to “understand” you better, including when you “stumble over your words” when speaking to Siri. But what does that really mean? Is Apple just trying to improve its voice recognition tech, or is it using this feature to collect even more data on its users?
The Creepiness Factor: Apple Intelligence Comes to Macs and iPads Too
And it’s not just iPhones that will be affected. Apple Intelligence will also be available on Macs and iPads with Apple silicon chips, which means your laptop or tablet will be collecting and analyzing your data too. What’s the real purpose of this feature? Is it just a convenient way to get your phone to do more stuff, or is Apple building a massive surveillance network?
The Next iPhone SE: Will It Be the Most Creepy iPhone Yet?
Rumors are circulating that the next iPhone SE will also support Apple Intelligence. If that’s true, it means even more users will be affected by this feature. Will Apple use this as an opportunity to push even more aggressive data collection and surveillance?
The Future of Apple Intelligence: When Will We Know What We’re Really Getting?
We’ll have to wait until March next year to see some of the marquee features of Apple Intelligence, including Siri carrying out tasks across multiple apps. Other features, like Apple’s Image Playground and Genmoji, could be out by December. But will we ever know what’s really going on behind the scenes?
