ChatGPT on Apple Devices: Everything We Know

Remember that time when you wished you could just *talk* to your phone and have it actually, you know, *understand* you? No, not like Siri trying to set a timer for “tenteen” minutes. I’m talkin’ about real, honest-to-goodness, mind-blowing AI. Well, fam, hold onto your hats because WWDC just dropped a bombshell: Apple Intelligence is here, and it’s bringing ChatGPT along for the ride. Yep, you heard that right. OpenAI and Apple are officially in cahoots, which means your iPhone is about to get a whole lot smarter.

Release Date: When Can You Get Your Hands on This?

Okay, okay, I know what you’re thinking. Enough with the hype, when can I actually *use* this thing? The short answer is…drumroll…we don’t know exactly. Classic Apple, keeping us all on the edge of our seats. Here’s the deal: Apple Intelligence will be rolling out as a beta feature in iOS , iPadOS , and macOS . Word on the street is iOS and iPadOS are dropping around mid-September, so… fingers crossed?

Now, here’s the catch. Apple Intelligence is gonna be like a super-exclusive club, releasing its features in stages throughout the rest of this year and bleeding into next. No official word on when ChatGPT’s getting its VIP pass, but rumor has it, it’ll be this year. So yeah, the anticipation is real, but hey, good things come to those who wait, right?

Supported Devices: Is Your Apple Gear Ready for AI Domination?

Let’s be real, Apple Intelligence is packing some serious tech under the hood. We’re talking next-level, on-device processing. Translation: you need some horsepower if you wanna join this rodeo. Here’s the lowdown on which devices are most likely to wrangle all the Apple Intelligence goodies:

• iPhone Pro/Pro Max
• iPad Pro M/M/M
• iPad Air M/M
• MacBook Air M/M/M
• MacBook Pro M/M/M
• iMac M/M/M
• Mac Mini M/M
• Mac Studio M/M
• The yet-to-be-released iPhone series and M Mac lineup (because who doesn’t love a good refresh?)

Now, before you toss your older Apple gear in the donation bin, hold up. Apple’s got your back (maybe). They’ve cooked up this fancy new thing called Private Cloud Compute, which might just be powerful enough to run *some* Apple Intelligence features on devices with a little less oomph. Fingers crossed, right?

Oh, and one more teeny-tiny detail. If you happen to be chilling in the EU, you might wanna grab a comfy chair and settle in for a bit of a wait. Apple Intelligence won’t be available in the EU right away thanks to some, shall we say, “concerns” related to the EU’s Digital Markets Act. Bureaucracy, am I right?
