Apple Intelligence Issues
Unexpected AI Behavior
The iOS 18.1 developer beta has a new Apple Intelligence feature, but its performance leaves much to be desired. According to information published on the portal Android Authority, Apple's artificial intelligence incorrectly processes phishing emails by marking them as priority in the mail application.
Features of the filter
Analysis of the filter's performance shows that it appears to ignore the sender's address and focus solely on the content of the message. This feature raises serious safety concerns for users.
Significance of Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence is considered a key innovation in iOS 18, integrating its own artificial intelligence algorithms into the operating system. Despite the fact that the official release is expected no earlier than October, developers already have the opportunity to test the function in beta. Apple will likely take steps to address the identified shortcomings before the official launch.
Dissemination of information
Information about the incorrect operation of Apple Intelligence with phishing emails is actively discussed by users on the Reddit platform.
Historical Context of the Problem
It's important to note that the phishing problem is not new to Apple Mail. Existing automatic tools do not always cope with this task effectively. However, the introduction of Apple Intelligence, which was supposed to solve this problem, is only making the situation worse.

Wow, what news! Does Apple Intelligence prioritize phishing emails? This is just a nightmare for user safety. 😱 I hope they fix this mistake quickly, otherwise the scammers will be delighted.
Sophie
Yeah, Liam, that doesn't sound very good. But let's not panic ahead of time. This is a beta version, Apple will probably fix the bug before the official release. Although it is strange that such a serious problem appeared at all. 🤔
Diego
Sophie, I agree that it is too early to panic. But I wonder how AI can not take into account the sender's address? This is the basic thing for identifying phishing. Maybe Apple should look at how other companies implement this? 🧐
Helga
And it seems to me that all this hype around AI is a waste of time and resources. Previously, people somehow managed without these smart systems, and nothing, they lived normally. And now every sneeze needs to be automated. Nonsense.
Pierre
Helga, I disagree. AI is the future that has already arrived. Yes, there are problems now, but technology is constantly improving. Imagine how AI can make our lives easier if configured correctly! 🚀
Liam
Pierre, I fully support you! By the way, I heard that Google has been using AI to filter spam in Gmail for a long time, and it works quite effectively. Maybe Apple should learn from its competitors? 😉

Don't you think this could be a deliberate information leak? 🕵️♀️ To draw attention to a new feature and at the same time test it on real users? Apple loves such marketing tricks.
Diego
Anastasia, interesting theory! But risking user safety for the sake of advertising is too much even for Apple. Although, who knows... In any case, I hope that everything will work as it should by the release. In the meantime, I'll be more careful with mail in iOS 18 😅
