iPhones use a “combination of on-device intelligence and Apple services that never store your images” to power Visual Intelligence and let you take a picture of a restaurant to get info about its hours. Point your camera at a flyer, and “details like title, date, and location are automatically recorded,” he said. Federighi added that the feature is “also your gateway to third-party” models, which suggests using Visual Intelligence to search Google for a bike that you find out in the wild or take a picture of study notes to get help with a concept.
Apple didn’t announce when the feature would debut beyond that it’s “coming to Camera Control later this year.”
