Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system powered by next-generation Apple Foundation Models, bringing personal context understanding, app actions, and on-screen awareness across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. You can integrate your app's content and actions into Siri AI and across the system via App Intents, so users can discover and use your app's capabilities more naturally. You can also build intelligent features directly into your apps with the Foundation Models framework, which supports multimodal prompts and any language model — including Apple Foundation Models or any provider that conforms to the Language Model protocol.

Platform design and Liquid Glass
Apple platforms have a unified language that elevates the content people care about most. It maintains the distinct qualities that make each platform unique and makes apps feel expressive, delightful, and focused. New platform design refinements improve consistency, readability, and accessibility, and introduce ways for apps to adapt across devices and screen sizes.
SwiftUI
Take advantage of the latest SwiftUI APIs for system materials, tab views, split views, and more. Building for watchOS is faster and easier than ever — use the canvas to preview widgets and complications across multiple Apple Watch faces in real time, and see how they look across your SwiftUI views as you work.
Health and fitness
Receive data from HealthKit in the background and display up-to-date information. Fitness apps can access real-time heart rate data, the gyroscope, route map data, and the all-day accelerometer, allowing you to create compelling fitness experiences.
Widgets in the Smart Stack
Share timely, contextually relevant information from your app at a glance with widgets in the Smart Stack. If your widget provides relevance cues, it will appear right when it’s needed. Plus, Live Activities from your iOS app automatically appear at the top of the Smart Stack on a connected Apple Watch.
Complications on the watch face
Provide timely, meaningful information with text, dynamic gauges, and charts on watch faces. Provide relevant information or allow quick access into your watchOS app.
Device connectivity
Apps can connect directly to Bluetooth devices on Apple Watch, updating information instantly and displaying it in complications the moment people raise their wrists. This opens up powerful use cases — from continuous glucose monitors to sports apps connected to sensor-equipped equipment. Apps can also connect in the background to deliver timely critical alerts.
Interactive notifications
Create tailored notifications to provide timely, high-value information people can understand at a glance. Even notifications from iOS will be reflected on connected watches. With interactive notifications, people can add their boarding pass for an upcoming flight, update time for a restaurant reservation, and more — right from the notification.
