"As we stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another, the scale, scope, and complexity of the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before."

Apple has confirmed that its suite of artificial intelligence features that the company calls "Apple Intelligence" will be available in India with localised language support in April, likely as part of the iOS 18.4 update for iPhones. During the company's latest quarterly earnings call, CEO Tim Cook stated that the company is expanding Apple Intelligence to support more languages, including localised English for India.

"We're working hard to take Apple Intelligence even further. In April, we're bringing Apple Intelligence to more languages, including French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and simplified Chinese, as well as localised English to Singapore and India," Cook said at Apple's Q1 earnings call.

The Next Big Thing

Addressing a question about Apple's performance in emerging markets, Cook highlighted strong results in several regions, particularly in India, where the iPhone was the top-selling model for the quarter.

Impact on Society

Last year, Apple announced plans to expand its retail presence in India by adding four more stores. The upcoming Apple stores are planned for Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi-NCR, and Mumbai. These will be in addition to the two existing stores in Delhi's Saket and Mumbai's BKC, which opened in April 2023.
