Apple Intelligence in 15.1 just flagged a phishing email as “Priority” and moved it to the top of my Inbox. This seems… bad<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I’ve been trying to test the new features in Mail to make sure that they work properly with my<\/a> apps<\/a>, but Mail is not showing any categories or priority messages on my Mac. Based on this and on reports from<\/a> other<\/a> beta<\/a> testers<\/a>, I had thought that only iOS got the full Apple Intelligence features in the first beta.<\/p>\n\n

(Maybe this has changed in beta 5<\/a>, but it’s not available yet for me, and the release notes<\/a> haven’t been updated yet. Apple’s announcement doesn’t say whether beta 5 is for the 15.0 track or the 15.1 track, and neither is showing an update right now. [Update: It seems that beta 5 is for 15.0<\/a>.])<\/p>\n\n

I do see the Summarize<\/strong> button, and it seems to work reasonably well, though I don’t really understand the use case for the feature. What kind of e-mails are important enough that I can’t skip them or quickly skim them, yet not important enough that I can trust an AI summary to be accurate and complete? Maybe I would be more likely to use the summary instead of skimming if it didn’t require an extra click.<\/p>\n\n
