Apple described the collaboration as a "deep" one that it says unlocks what it called a "huge upgrade" for Apple Intelligence, bringing state-of-the-art understanding and reasoning capabilities as well as multimodal support including image understanding and generation. The upgraded models support new capabilities use cases, including realistic image creation, advanced photo editing, and visual question answering. Certain devices will receive a higher-power version of the model with additional capabilities including speech generation, improved dictation accuracy, and stronger natural language understanding, though Apple did not specify which devices qualify. A new system orchestrator sits at the center of the revised architecture, coordinating Apple Intelligence features securely across Apple's platforms. Apple says the orchestrator allows the system to tailor its responses based on the active app and the user's current task, enabling what the company described as truly system-wide intelligence. Apple used the announcement to frame its approach as a contrast to competitors it characterized as "racing forward" without regard for users. The company reiterated that Apple Intelligence relies on on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, with a promise that user data is only used to execute the immediate request and is not accessible to Apple or third parties. Apple added that outside experts can verify those privacy guarantees "at any time." Tags: Apple Intelligence Guide, Google [ 40 comments ] Get weekly top MacRumors stories in your inbox.

If this can't be completely disabled, I will never buy another Apple product. I refuse to deal with Google's anti-privacy/anti-consumer policies. What has made you think that Google will be given any user data from this? They straight up said that they used Google's models to build their Apple Foundation Models, and that everything will still be either on-device or Private Cloud Compute. Google isn't involved in the handling of data.
