Apple Intelligence is available for iPhone 15 Pro and later, but there’s an exclusive feature for iPhone 16 models - Visual Intelligence. Some believed this was because the iPhone 15 Pro lacked Camera Control, but that all changed with the iPhone 16e – which supports Visual Intelligence. Now Apple has confirmed that the feature will soon be available to iPhone 15 Pro owners, too.

What Exactly is Visual Intelligence?

Think of it as a smarter camera and image processing system. It's rumoured to go beyond simply recognizing objects in a photo. Instead, it could analyze scenes in real time, providing users contextual information and interactive options.

How might it work?

Imagine pointing your iPhone at a restaurant. Visual Intelligence could instantly pull up reviews, menus, and even reservation options. Or, if you're looking at a landmark, it could display historical information or directions. It could even translate signs in real time. The possibilities are vast.

Advancements in on-device machine learning and AI could power this feature. The iPhone's powerful processors could analyze images and videos instantly without a constant internet connection. This would make the feature fast and reliable, even in areas with limited connectivity.

The potential benefits are huge. Visual Intelligence could make the iPhone an even more powerful tool for everyday tasks, from exploring new places to learning about the world. It could also have accessibility applications, assisting users with visual impairments by providing detailed descriptions of their surroundings.

Of course, these are just rumours. Apple is known for its secrecy; we won't know until they make an official announcement. However, the possibility of a "Visual Intelligence" feature is exciting and could mark a major step forward in how we use our smartphones. Keep eye out on updates as we get closer to the expected release of iOS 18.4.
