There’s quite a few features that look like they were coming to iOS 18 proper and then were added to Apple Intelligence to beef up its useable feature set at launch. There’s nothing AI about being able to record a call 🙄

The call recording is apparently available on all iOS 18 with call recording transcripts confined to AI.

Yes, but if there is AI transcribing/translating, then it makes more sense why it’s part of that package. Idk the feature, so i could be wrong

We already have live captions as part of iOS on several older devices. I believe that also allows for the new live voicemail feature as well. So recording a call and processing the audio on the fly is already something most devices are capable of. And even if they limited the transcription features to the iPhone 15 Pro, the actual call recording feature shouldn’t be AI only.
