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.”

Your old iPhone may have a security flaw Apple can’t fix
Security researchers find a new BootROM exploit affecting iPhones with A12 and A13 chips
iPhone 11 Pro in hand

iPhones are widely seen as some of the most secure smartphones for everyday users. Still, Apple devices are not immune to serious security flaws, as recent threats like Coruna and DarkSword have shown. Now, security researchers at Paradigm Shift have detailed a different kind of exploit called usbliter8, which affects some older iPhones and targets a deep part of Apple’s startup process known as the BootROM.

The BootROM is the basic startup code that runs before iOS loads. It helps the iPhone begin the boot process and verify what should run next. Because it is built into the chip itself, it is much harder to fix than a normal iOS bug. Apple can usually patch software flaws through an update, but it cannot rewrite BootROM code on devices that have already shipped.

Caviar's new iPhone 17 Pro Max case has a dinosaur tooth

Caviar has made plenty of absurdly expensive custom phones before, but its latest iPhone accessory might be a crossover for the ages (literally). The company’s new Magnetic Custom Relict is a magnetic case for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and it costs $4,490. Yes, the price tag sounds absurd till you realize what the case includes. Embedded into the iPhone protective cover is a fragment of a Tyrannosaurus fossil set into the tip of its signature checkmark design.

It's more expensive than the phone it protects

Nothing just canceled its next CMF Phone, and the reason has nothing to do with the phone itself. 

The company's co-founder, Akis Evangelidis, confirmed on X that CMF won’t launch a new phone this year, citing the memory crisis, which appears to be worsening with each passing day.
