I struggle to find genuinely helpful artificial intelligence features in daily life. Sure, removing unwanted objects from my photos is nice to have, but most other AI capabilities on recent phones have been one-time party tricks at best.
Unlike one of those features, I found a handy use case with Galaxy AI on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra last year. A similar capability is now making its way to your iPhone with iOS 26. The feature I’m talking about is the one-tap Add to Calendar feature.
