Apple has officially announced that its AI-powered suite, Apple Intelligence, will be available in India starting April 2025. This expansion will introduce advanced AI features to compatible iPhones, iPads, and Macs, enhancing user experience with smart functionalities. The rollout will include support for localized English tailored for Indian users.
Apple Intelligence offers a range of features designed to enhance productivity and creativity:
- Systemwide Writing Tools: Advanced text editing capabilities that assist in rewriting, proofreading, and refining content across various applications.
- Image Playground: An AI-driven tool that allows users to generate and edit images seamlessly within the Apple ecosystem.
- Genmoji: A feature enabling the creation of personalized emojis, adding a unique touch to user communications.
- Enhanced Siri Functionality: Integration with OpenAI’s ChatGPT to provide more natural and context-aware responses, elevating the virtual assistant experience.
These features are set to arrive with the iOS 18.4 update, expected to launch in April 2025. Initially, Apple Intelligence will be available on select devices, including the iPhone 16 series, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. Users of these devices in India will soon be able to access Apple’s AI features without needing to adjust their default language settings.
Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, emphasized the company’s commitment to expanding its AI capabilities globally. In addition to English (India), Apple Intelligence will support multiple languages, including French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and simplified Chinese. This multilingual support aims to provide a more personalized and efficient user experience across different regions.
This development aligns with Apple’s broader strategy to enhance its presence in emerging markets like India. The company has reported significant growth in these regions and plans to open four new retail stores in India to cater to the increasing demand. The introduction of Apple Intelligence is expected to further solidify Apple’s position in the Indian market by offering users cutting-edge AI features tailored to their needs.
