Apple Intelligence has just been rolled out on a larger scale, internationally, with more languages  and locations included than ever before.

Apple has announced that from today there will be new features and languages added to expand the reach of its artificial intelligence software.

The new update will roll out today as part of the latest OS upgrades which apply to iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4.

Apple has said the new language support for Apple Intelligence includes French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (simplified) — as well as localized English for Singapore and India — which are accessible in nearly all regions around the world.

For those people that are in EU countries this update will mean they should now have access to Apple AI features across iPhone and iPad devices, thanks to that iOS 18.4 update.

Apple Intelligence features

Apple has also announced that Apple Intelligence will now be available on the Apple Vision Pro with the latest visionOS 2.4 update. This brings with it a host of new features including the ability to write, summarize and edit text using the power of ChatGPT built right into the system.

Priority Notifications will also arrive as part of this update, meaning time-sensitive communications will be brought to your attention when needed. The idea being that you won’t miss what’s important but also shouldn’t be overwhelmed with quite as many notifications as usual.

Another fun AI addition is the ability to create a Memory Movie on a Mac by simply typing out a description of what you want to have come to life in video format.

On the area of privacy and security in AI, Apple says: “Apple Intelligence marks an extraordinary step forward for privacy in AI and is designed to protect users’ privacy at every step.

“It starts with on-device processing, and for requests that require access to larger models, Private Cloud Compute extends the privacy and security of iPhone into the cloud to unlock even more intelligence.”

The iPad doesn’t need AI, but Apple must fix something else

I just finished testing the new entry-level iPad, and so far, I am fairly impressed by the tablet. You can’t get a better value than this slate for $349. From the external hardware to the innards, there is hardly any alternative from the Android side that can deliver a superior experience.
This year, Apple delivered a couple of surprises, in addition to the expected chip upgrade. You now get twice the storage for the same ask, and the RAM has also been bumped up. In a nutshell, it’s faster, better at multi-tasking, and without any storage headaches, even if your budget is tight.
Apple, however, hasn’t fixed the software situation with iPadOS, which continues to bother with its fair share of quirks in tow. This year, however, the software gulf is even wider between the baseline iPad and every other tablet in Apple’s portfolio. Stage Manager has been the big differentiator so far, but in 2025, we have another deep chasm.

A good riddance with AI

Is the base iPad too popular to get Apple Intelligence?
iPad (2025) colors.

In an age where Apple is all about its AI powered Apple Intelligence, it seems odd that it hasn't crammed it into the base model iPad (2025). Why that is may have now become clearer.

On the surface there's the obvious hardware issue of the base iPad simply not packing enough punch to keep up with the AI. But Apple would have known this in advance, so it presumably chose to leave this model of iPad a little behind in terms of AI upgrades.

Well, it's more Severance supervising editor and three time Emmy Award nominee, Geoffrey Richman, that's giving out all the technical details - but Stiller is clearly loving working with Apple.
