**Headline: Apple Unveils Revolutionary AI That Can Tell You To Take A Break From Your Phone More Artfully Than Ever**

In a move likely to redefine the future of scrolling, Apple is rolling out its first in-house “Apple Intelligence” update later this month, aiming to make your iPhone considerably smarter than your average fruit. Insiders familiar with Apple’s strategy reveal the company’s ingenious plan: to finally make your iPhone capable of being just intelligent enough to remind you it exists.

While most were expecting a new era of AI-driven tech wizardry, Apple’s avant-garde feature set starts with AI-powered notification summaries. “Finally, my iPhone will stop just saying ‘Pay Attention to Me,’ and instead provide a haiku summarizing the missed FaceTime requests from my mom,” said Bryce, a lifelong Apple enthusiast who regularly camps outside Apple stores for two weeks with his cat named Siri.

According to a meticulous leak by tech oracle Mark Gurman via his Power On newsletter—named after the ritualistic request to turn on the device—Apple fans are buzzing about the iOS 18.1’s potential to hear you with near clairvoyance. Imagine a world where Siri not only hears you stumble over a word but carefully corrects it into something passable for human interaction. “It’s a breakthrough we have all been waiting for,” said Bill Softwear, a fictitious spokesperson who completely doesn’t exist but we wish he did.

Moreover, early adopters may even experience the delightful luminescence of a rainbow-colored edge graphic when Siri is summoned, reminiscent of the legendary munchies-inducing iTunes visualizer of yore. This is “for those moments when you want your phone to simultaneously save battery life, while also making you feel like you’re in a low-budget sci-fi movie,” Apple’s fictional creative director, Aura Lite, explained.

However, fans on older devices might find themselves staring longingly into the glassy abyss of their iPhone 14s without experiencing the ethereal glow that comes from the M1 chip’s mysterious powers. But fret not—rumors suggest that this capability may trickle down to the iPhone SE, as Apple seeks to sprinkle some intelligence like fairy dust over its full range.

While still absent are some of the grander Apple Intelligence features—such as Siri’s plan to run your life more efficiently than your significant other or Genmojis stirring controversy with their aggressively customizable personas—the tech giant assures users these will arrive someday, possibly, maybe by March. Perhaps by then, Siri will also remind users about groceries in Shakespearean prose, truly perfecting the avant-garde and setting a high bar for artificial intelligence capable of existential pondering.

Revelers in the tech community remain optimistic that by early next year, iPhones will not just be smarter, but will finally do what they were always meant to do—convince us we’re on the cusp of the singularity while still primarily being used to order pizza.
