Phones & devices
The AI already in your pocket
Galaxy AI, Apple Intelligence and the phone features actually worth switching on.
Your phone almost certainly ships with AI features you have never opened. Some are genuinely useful — live translation, call screening, cleaning up a photo — and some exist mainly for the launch keynote. These guides go through what is on Samsung Galaxy, iPhone and Pixel handsets, what each feature does in practice, and which ones are worth turning on.
Where a feature needs a newer handset, a subscription, or sends your data somewhere, that is stated up front rather than buried. If you are choosing between phones on the strength of their AI, the comparisons will tell you how much difference it really makes.
