In a press release, Apple revealed the arrival of its in-house artificial intelligence in France. It will be available in French in April 2025.
Last June, Apple unveiled Apple Intelligence, its artificial intelligence system which will offer a plethora of features to iPhone owners. While users in the United States will have access to it from this Monday, October 28, via the deployment of an update, those based in France and the EU will still have to wait a few months.
In a press release published on October 28, the company announced the arrival of Apple Intelligence in the EU for April 2025.
“In April, Apple Intelligence features will begin rolling out to iPhone and iPad users in the EU,” the company said.
New Siri, Genmoji and writing tools
These functions will be available in French, Apple said. Among them, users will have access to the new Siri, which will offer “a more natural and flexible experience”. In addition to using voice, they will be able to write to Apple's assistant to, among other things, ask questions. If Siri is not efficient enough to answer a question, users can call on ChatGPT.
Other new features include writing tools, which aim to help users find the right words in the Messages, Mail and Notes applications. The Rewrite tool will, for example, allow you to choose from different versions and adjust the tone of the text (professional, concise or friendly) depending on the target.
Finally, Apple Intelligence will allow you to create Genmoji in messages. This is an improved version of the advances of Memoji (avatar creation) and animoji (animal faces on yours in Facetime). Concretely, from the emoji menu, you just need to describe your idea by typing it in the bar to generate a Genmoji. Users will also be able to use their photos to create Genmojis of their friends or family members.
Note that Apple Intelligence will only be available from the iPhone 15 Pro. Apple's announcement comes as the company postponed the launch of its in-house AI in the EU due to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), a European law that forces tech giants to open up to competition. by imposing a series of rules on them. To justify this postponement, the company cited “regulatory uncertainties” linked to this law.
