To use the feature, iPhone 16 users can press and hold the Camera Control button. Once in the Visual Intelligence interface, they can take a picture and ask ChatGPT about it.

Apple Intelligence could drive revenue growth in 2025 through AI subscriptions and paid features across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
