Apple's AI Evolution: Monetization, Privacy, and New Features in iOS 18.2

Apple's launch of its AI suite, Apple Intelligence, in iOS 18.1 has been criticized for being rushed and incomplete, with features like Writing Tools and Notification Summaries showing inconsistencies and errors. Despite this, Apple's long-term strategy of integrating AI to address specific user needs rather than deploying generic chatbots is seen as promising. The staggered rollout and beta status of many features suggest Apple is trying to catch up in the AI space, but the company may need more time to refine its models to match competitors like ChatGPT.
