Apple CEO Tim Cook announced on Thursday that Apple Intelligence will soon support eight additional languages, including French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and simplified Chinese. Cook’s announcement came during Apple’s fiscal Q1 2025 earnings call.
An update coming in April will also bring localized English support for users in India and Singapore, said Cook. Apple Intelligence is currently limited to English-speaking regions including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Apple Intelligence, which debuted in updates to iOS 18, does not appear to have pushed users to upgrade as much as expected. However, Cook said that the iPhone 16 models are selling better in markets where Apple Intelligence is available.
During the earnings call, Cook discussed the importance of Apple Intelligence features, saying that “once you start using the features you can’t imagine not using them anymore.” He specifically mentioned the email summarization function as a particularly valuable tool, as he personally relies on it to manage hundreds of his daily emails.
“And I think I know from my own personal experience, once you start using the features you can’t imagine not using them anymore,” Cook said. “I know I get hundreds of emails a day, and the summarization function is so important.”
