Apple is set to unleash a wave of exciting new visual intelligence features with the iOS 18.3 update, specifically designed to enhance the functionality of iPhone 16 models. Get ready to experiance a whole new level of interaction with your camera and the world around you.
One of the most anticipated features is the ability to seamlessly add events to your calendar directly through the Camera Control Visual Intelligence option. Imagine pointing your camera at a poster or flyer announcing an event – a tap, and it’s automatically added to your calendar! This feature, which Apple initially showcased with the introduction of Camera Control, will finally be accessible to users with the iOS 18.3 update.
“Using Visual Intelligence to add an event to Calendar was a promised function,” as Apple highlighted during the Camera Control launch.
Now, you can effortlessly capture that important date and time data without lifting a finger. To utilize this feature, simply view a document like a poster with a date, and when the Visual Intelligence interface pops up, tap on the detected date.
Beyond event scheduling, iOS 18.3 is also introducing a handy tool for identifying plants and animals in real-time using Visual Intelligence. while the Photos app already offers insights about plants, animals, and insects when you view additional information in the editing interface, Camera Control will now display these details instantaneously.
While viewing an animal or plant through Visual Intelligence, you’ll likely see a tappable bubble that identifies what you’re looking at. Tap on it to uncover more detailed information, making it a great tool for budding botanists and wildlife enthusiasts.
iPhone 16’s Exclusive Camera Feature: Visual Intelligence
The iPhone 16 series isn’t just about powerful processors and sleek designs; Apple is pushing the boundaries of mobile photography with a feature exclusive to these devices: Visual Intelligence. This innovative technology, powered by Apple’s advanced machine learning capabilities, transforms the way you interact with your camera.
Imagine capturing stunning photos of animals with unprecedented accuracy and detail. Visual Intelligence empowers the iPhone 16 to recognize and understand the subjects in your frame, adjusting settings automatically for optimal results.As Apple states,“Visual Intelligence uses on-device machine learning to understand the scene in front of the camera and make bright adjustments to your photos and videos.”
To activate this groundbreaking feature, a simple long press on the camera Control button unlocks the potential of Visual Intelligence. This intuitive interface puts you in control, allowing you to fine-tune your settings and capture those moments with unparalleled clarity and precision.
Visual Intelligence marks a notable leap forward in mobile photography, blurring the lines between professional-grade equipment and the capabilities of a smartphone. With its ability to recognize and understand the world around us,Visual Intelligence is poised to revolutionize how we capture and share our experiences.
iOS 18.3 Beta 3: Notification Overhaul and iPhone SE 4 Leaks
Apple continues to refine iOS 18 with the release of its third beta, focusing on enhancing user experience. While previous updates have been relatively minor, beta 3 introduces notable changes to Notification Summaries, directly responding to user concerns about inaccurate headline summaries.
Apple’s commitment to user feedback is evident in these modifications,aiming to provide a clearer and more accurate representation of notifications.
beyond iOS 18.3, rumors surrounding the upcoming iPhone SE 4 are heating up. Leaked source code, shared by reputable leaker Evan Blass, suggests the device will indeed be called the iPhone SE (4th Gen), contradicting previous speculation about a potential “iPhone 16E” moniker.
adding fuel to the fire, Blass’ leak also hints at a significant redesign, potentially incorporating Apple’s Dynamic Island feature, previously exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro models.
While official confirmation remains elusive, these leaks paint a picture of a revamped iPhone SE, offering users a taste of flagship-level features at a potentially more affordable price point.
Stay tuned for further developments and official announcements from Apple.
