Still problematic though?

Filipinos who own eligible iPhones may now access Apple Intelligence which is still in Beta mode.

However, a Reddit post raised some concerns about the use of this new feature.

According to the user, Apple Intelligence affected Siri's performance, making the latter's responsiveness slower. They said they still prefer Siri when it comes to response.

Mas okay for me ang type to siri feature nya dahil naglalabas na rin sila ng suggested actions based sa tinatype mo, the user said.

Another user replied saying they have been using Apple Intelligence for weeks but the writing tools need to be at par with ChatGPT. 

Apple Intelligence combines generative models with personal context to deliver intelligence that is most useful and relevant to users while protecting their privacy.

This feature is accessible only to those who use iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max.
