At the Steve Jobs Theater, he announced the commencement of this unusually significant autumn product launch event.Apple Conference 2024 is even more noteworthy than those of the past few years due to the emergence of Apple Intelligence. As the first iPhone specifically designed for Apple Intelligence, the iPhone 16 bears Apple's important expectations in the era of AI. In the short term, it serves as the core driving force for the sales of the new generation iPhone, while in the longer run, it could potentially mark a turning point for AI smartphones.Apple has announced that the English version of Apple Intelligence will start hitting the US market next month, and will gradually expand to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, and other countries and regions from December. Next year, Apple Intelligence will be updated with other language versions including Chinese, French, Japanese, Spanish, and more.<h2 id="What-Can-Apple-Intelligence-Bring-to-Us?">What Can Apple Intelligence Bring to Us?</h2>In terms of software, Apple emphasized a set of Apple Intelligence capabilities, which can be divided into four categories:<ul><li>Language</li><li>Image</li><li>Action</li><li>Personal context</li></ul>Further capabilities include:&nbsp;<ul><li>Express yourself&nbsp;</li><li>Relive memories&nbsp;</li><li>Prioritize and focus&nbsp;</li><li>Get things done</li></ul>On the iPhone 16, some common use cases include:<ol><li>Text Processing: First of all, with the boost of Apple Intelligence, iOS 18 can convert various draft notes into more complete texts, such as writing emails based on key information. It can also make message replies more professional and even generate new emojis based on the entered text.</li><li>Semantic Search: The photo album supports natural semantic search. For example, you can search for photos of "Shani dancing in a red skirt". This feature is also applicable to video searches. It can also automatically edit and sequence album videos into a story based on the entered content.</li><li>Optimized Notification Display: With the support of Apple Intelligence, all kinds of notifications can be prioritized according to their urgency. The information displayed in the notification bar for emails and messages will no longer be the first sentence, but a summary of the content.</li><li>Enhanced Siri: Of course, Siri has also become more natural, more contextual, and more understanding of you. It understands incoherent commands, can command it to delete duplicate photos in the album, and can analyze the situation based on the context. Siri can understand the information on the current screen. For example, upon seeing a text message from a friend introducing a new album, you only need to tell Siri to play the album, and it will find the corresponding one.</li><li>Integration with Photography: The latest photo button combined with Apple Intelligence can also achieve Visual Intelligence. For example, when you casually snap a picture of a restaurant, the screen will immediately pop up with restaurant reviews; it can identify dog breeds; and supports third-party application calls, such as conducting a Google search or asking ChatGPT after taking down information.</li></ol>In addition, the application of AI is reflected in features such as call wind noise reduction and one-click photo elimination. Apple introduced the idea that even reflections and shadows in photos can be removed. These new features rely on multiple generative models running locally on Apple devices. If larger computational power is needed, cloud computation will be invoked. To this end, Apple has introduced "private cloud computing", which ensures that user data is not stored and only used for computation.<h2 id="Is-Apple-Intelligence-the-Future-of-AI-Technology?">Is Apple Intelligence the Future of AI Technology?</h2> Apple Intelligence is certainly a significant development in AI technology, particularly in the realm of consumer devices. It showcases advancements in natural language processing, image recognition, and personalization, among other areas. By integrating these AI capabilities into the iPhone and other Apple products, the company is making AI more accessible and useful in everyday life.However, it is important to note that Apple Intelligence is not the only player in the field of AI technology. Other tech giants, such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, are also investing heavily in AI research and development. These companies have their own AI platforms, like Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Microsoft Cortana, which offer similar functionalities and continue to evolve.The future of AI technology will likely involve a combination of advancements from multiple companies and research institutions. As AI becomes more sophisticated and versatile, it is expected to play an increasingly important role in various industries and aspects of daily life. While Apple Intelligence is undoubtedly an important milestone, it is just one piece of the broader AI landscape.The advent of Apple Intelligence is a promising start, and we can look forward to more imaginative applications being implemented in the future, enabling AI technology to truly change the way we live our lives.<h2 id="Conclusion">Conclusion</h2><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://edgeone.ai/">Tencent EdgeOne</a> is an advanced content delivery network (CDN) and edge computing platform developed by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.tencentcloud.com/">Tencent Cloud</a>, which provides Edge Solutions for <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://edgeone.ai/document/54208">Acceleration</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://edgeone.ai/document/58013">Security</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://edgeone.ai/document/53372">Serverless</a>, and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://edgeone.ai/products/mediaone">Video</a>.

EdgeOne is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tencentcloud.com/?from_mkt=blog">Tencent Cloud</a>’s security and site acceleration solution for the global market built on Tencent’s edge node network. Using&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tencentcloud.com/products/teo?from_mkt=blog">Tencent EdgeOne</a> (TEO), your site will have protection against threats, such as DDoS attacks, bots, and other web attacks, while also delivering content quickly to your end users via EdgeOne’s CDN platform.Acceleration: TEO edge nodes are located close to end users, which greatly reduces latency and packet loss, avoids network jitters, and guarantees stability and performance during content delivery to a global audience. In addition, EdgeOne has many built-in features, including cache pre-fetching, file compression, image optimization, cross-border acceleration, and smart route optimization, to efficiently support performance-sensitive applications.&nbsp;Security: Security protection services such as WAF and Anti-DDoS are available in TEO. Edge nodes identify and block various layer-3/4/7 attack requests, cleanse DDoS attack traffic, and utilize a smart AI and bot policy engine to analyze the behaviors of web, bot, and CC attacks and update attack blocking policies. This prevents malicious requests from reaching your origin servers and guarantees availability and performance for your business.EdgeOne is part of Tencent Cloud’s suite of public cloud services. For more information, see the full list of Tencent Cloud products and services&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tencentcloud.com/product?from_mkt=blog">here</a>.<h2 id="When-should-I-use-EdgeOne?">When should I use EdgeOne?</h2>EdgeOne can be used in a wide variety of scenarios, but the most common theme is delivering your content to your end users securely, quickly, and at scale. Now, this can seem a bit vague, so let’s dive into a few examples.<h3>End Users are Far Away from the Origin</h3>Let’s pretend that your origin (where you store the files, images, video, etc. that end users will download to their devices) is located in Silicon Valley. But you find that most of your end users are based on the US East Coast. As a result, users complain that your website is slow, and user engagement declines.One option is to create a duplicate origin on the East Coast, but this will likely be costly and time-consuming to do. A better option is to use EdgeOne’s CDN platform. With EdgeOne, users will connect to a nearby caching node instead of connecting to their origin thousands of miles away, thereby dramatically improving download speeds and reliability.<h3>Flash Crowds</h3>Sometimes your site may encounter an unexpected surge in traffic. Whether the increased demand is expected or not, your site has to scale accordingly to accommodate the traffic influx. Traditionally, this meant horizontal scaling either in your data centers or in the public cloud. But even with features such as auto-scaling, virtual machines aren’t designed to cache content. So networking costs can skyrocket as a result.EdgeOne’s architecture includes thousands of nodes around the world. They are strategically placed in locations close to end users with large amounts of connectivity to ISPs. On top of that, their built-in caching functions ensure that pulls to the origin are kept to a minimum, reducing networking costs and improving client-side performance.<h3>Custom Business Logic</h3>Back in the day, static sites were, well, static. Every person viewing your site received the same content no matter what device they were using or where they were located in the world. Times have changed since then, and dynamic content is now the norm. Content is tailored for each person on-the-fly. To do this, you can use EdgeOne’s Edge Functions to write your custom business logic and run it on a serverless architecture.EdgeOne Edge Functions run on the same nodes as the EdgeOne CDN. This design gives you the ability to dynamically alter HTTP requests and responses to and from the EdgeOne CDN, respectively.<h3>Cross-Border Traffic Acceleration</h3>One of EdgeOne’s most exciting features is its ability to send traffic to and from China mainland without experiencing the high latency and congestion that is common with other network providers. This is particularly useful for applications in which content is hosted outside of mainland China but end users are located behind the border. EdgeOne’s cross-border acceleration feature can ensure that these end users experience fast webpage load times despite long network distances.&nbsp;There are many more use cases you can utilize EdgeOne.
