Why Apple is intelligent about its use of Apple Intelligence in the new iPhone 16 series

Apple’s iPhone 16 series announced today has an additional camera control button on the side. But don’t dismiss it as another camera shutter button, the type we have seen in many smartphones over the years. In fact, this button is the one that triggers arguably the best hardware integration for AI in a smartphone so far. Apple calls it visual intelligence, and this new layer is powered by Apple Intelligence, the GenAI capabilities coming to iPhones with iOS 18.
