Overview

• Apple has shared the first real-world example of its Image Playground feature, which generates cartoon-like illustrations based on text prompts.
• The image depicts Craig Federighi's dog, Bailey, wearing a party hat and sitting in front of a birthday cake.
• Image Playground will be available as a standalone app and integrated into communication apps like Messages, allowing users to generate images from descriptions or photos.
• The feature will launch with iOS 18.2 in December, supporting devices with the iPhone 15 Pro or later, and iPads or Macs with the M1 chip or newer.
• Apple is working to comply with EU regulations before releasing Apple Intelligence features in Europe, with initial support for English variants starting in December and other languages next year.
