Have your say: do you actually use Apple Intelligence?

Recent discussions with a few folks at TechRadar around Apple Intelligence and its usefulness and feature set has left me thinking that it’s still not really up to scratch for what people expect from the crew at Cupertino.

Phones Editor Axel Metz mentioned he mostly turns off the Apple Intelligence features on his iPhone, while freelancer James Rogerson hasn’t been overly complimentary about the AI features on iOS.

In general, I still think it’s early days for Apple Intelligence and that Cupertino fumbled its launch but is at least slowly improving it. I can’t say I’m super excited at what’s next for it, but I won’t quite fully dismiss its future potential right away.

Equally, I think Apple will need to put of a good show at WWDC this year to really win back some favor for Apple Intelligence. Of course, that’s some time away so right now we’ll have to rely on any iOS 26 updates and AI improvements.
