Apple does seem to have tried to ensure its controversial Audio Intelligence feature isn’t abused. Alongside the iPhone Duo and new iPhone 18 Pro range, Apple on Wednesday introduced a new Apple Watch equipped with a brand new feature it calls Audio Intelligence. The existence of this surprising tool was confirmed only on the eve of the launch event. Enabled by the new S11 chip on the latest Watch devices, this is actually a collection of four features:
Siri Recap, which creates high-level summaries of conversations during your day.
Live Rewind, which transcribes the previous 15 seconds of a conversation as text.
Music recognition, which relies on Shazam.
Sound recognition, which can identify things like sirens or alarms.
