These days, it feels like every platform is rolling out some form of AI. Some features are genuinely helpful, while others feel like tech for tech\u2019s sake. But after a full week of testing Apple\u2019s version on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook, I can honestly say it feels different. It&#8217;s subtle, actually useful, and blends naturally into the way I already use my devices.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36806\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FullSizeRender-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FullSizeRender-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FullSizeRender-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FullSizeRender-768x593.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FullSizeRender-1536x1187.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FullSizeRender-2048x1582.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FullSizeRender-696x538.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FullSizeRender-1068x825.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FullSizeRender-544x420.jpg 544w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what stood out.

I had this picture of my coffee from a weekend caf\u00e9 visit. The lighting was great, the coffee looked perfect, but there were a few people in the background who distracted from the shot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36852\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/new-clean-up-tool-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"677\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/new-clean-up-tool-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/new-clean-up-tool-696x454.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/new-clean-up-tool-644x420.jpg 644w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/new-clean-up-tool.jpg 745w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With just a tap, I selected them, and Clean Up wiped them out of the frame smoothly. No weird patches, no awkward edges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smarter Searches In Photos<\/strong><br \/>\nNext, I tested out the improved photo search by typing just one word: concerts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36809\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9587-138x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9587-138x300.jpg 138w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9587-472x1024.jpg 472w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9587-768x1665.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9587-696x1509.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9587-1068x2315.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9587.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Instantly, it pulled together the concerts I had captured over the years, even finding moments I had forgotten I recorded. It works on videos too! No more endless scrolling through the photo roll to find that one gig.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Endless Genmojis<\/strong><br \/>\nThen I got into Genmoji to create new emojis when I text. It turned out to be weirdly addictive. I was craving chicken rice, and typed in \u201cgirl eating chicken rice\u201d and watched as it generated a range of emoji-like characters capturing that exact vibe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36811 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9591-146x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9591-146x300.jpeg 146w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9591-768x1581.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9591-746x1536.jpeg 746w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9591-995x2048.jpeg 995w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9591-696x1433.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9591-1068x2199.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9591-204x420.jpeg 204w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9591.jpeg 1179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I could swipe through the versions, tweak them, and send them out in chats. It\u2019s surprisingly expressive and a lot more fun than standard emojis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Siri support for English (Singapore) That Gets Me<\/strong><br \/>\nThe biggest surprise, though, came when I asked, \u201cGot chicken rice near me?\u201d For the first time, Siri understood me. With Siri support for English (Singapore), Siri feels more relatable and far more useful. What impressed me was how well it handled changes in my request. I could stumble mid-sentence or switch things up like saying, \u201cSiri, set a timer for 5 mins&#8230; no 10 mins.\u201d and Siri would still follow along without missing a beat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36813\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9601-138x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9601-138x300.jpg 138w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9601-472x1024.jpg 472w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9601-768x1665.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9601-696x1509.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9601-1068x2315.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9601.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also discovered a new way to use Siri without even speaking. In quieter places like meetings or libraries, I now use the Type to Siri feature. By double-tapping the bottom of the iPhone screen, or pressing the Command key twice on my iPad or Mac keyboard, I can bring up a Siri keyboard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visual Intelligence With Camera Control<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother feature that impressed me was Visual Intelligence with Camera Control, available on the iPhone 16 lineup. I didn\u2019t realise how handy it would be until I started using it in my daily routine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36815\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9555-138x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9555-138x300.jpg 138w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9555-472x1024.jpg 472w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9555-768x1665.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9555-696x1509.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9555-1068x2315.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9555.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One night, I pointed my camera at a new humidifier I had just found. Not only did it detect the model, but it instantly pulled up usage instructions. I was also able to ask Chatgpt, which is integrated directly into the system, for a list of calming essential oils to pair with it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36816\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9605-138x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9605-138x300.jpg 138w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9605-472x1024.jpg 472w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9605-768x1665.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9605-696x1509.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9605-1068x2315.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_9605.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, Visual Intelligence has been useful in a bunch of other everyday situations. It can scan and summarise text, which is great for quickly understanding flyers or documents. It can also read text out loud, translate signs and menus, and detect phone numbers or email addresses. If I come across a product or item I like, I offer to search Google for where to buy it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Image Playground, Especially for Visual Thinkers<\/strong><br \/>\nI mostly use my iPad for note-taking and creating, so the new Image Playground feature clicked with me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36818\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"676\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-2048x1535.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0119-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What I enjoyed was how flexible it was, I could create anything!. I decided to try creating a garden tea party scene using an existing picture I took, and added prompts like spring, sunset. The result looked exactly like the vibe I had imagined. Soft colours, golden light, and a dreamy, outdoor setting with flower garlands and teacups under fairy lights.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36819\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-2048x1535.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0120-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With a different prompt like Starry Night, the Apple Intelligence can catch on and create another beautiful image.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36820\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-2048x1535.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0123-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also played with creating images based on someone\u2019s appearance.
