Apple announced a slew of AI features at WWDC 2024, but outside of beta versions, none of them have arrived yet, and they probably won't until September, when something similar to at least one feature could already be available in a Samsung. phone.
According to leaker @UniverseIce, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, expected to launch in July, will include a feature similar to Apple's Image Wand, allowing you to instantly turn doodles and sketches into more polished images.
Apple's implementation of this requires you to circle the image with an Apple Pencil, so it's a feature of iPadOS 18 rather than iOS 18. It's unclear if Samsung's version will similarly require an S Pen stylus. , but the fact that the feature is apparently launching on a phone that likely supports the stylus suggests that might be the case.

Separately, the source claimed in a response that Samsung's version of the feature will also come to the Samsung Galaxy S24 series and Samsung Galaxy S23 line, though not until “later,” and only the Ultra models of those lines are compatible with the S. Pen.
We'd take this with a pinch of salt, but @UniverseIce has a good track record, and given that Samsung has been focusing a lot on AI lately, it's not surprising that it would introduce a similar feature to Apple, and even launch it. first.
Similar AI features no matter your phone
Given how soon this leaked after WWDC, it's unlikely Samsung took inspiration from Apple here; rather, the two companies were likely working on similar features simultaneously.
Still, even if it's a copy, a good idea is a good idea, so it stands to reason that Samsung would want to offer it as well, much like how Apple Intelligence borrows from Google's Magic Eraser to allow users to erase items. unwanted photos.
As a result, in the long run you'll probably have access to similar sets of AI tools no matter which brand of smartphone you choose, although Apple's approach to AI is noticeably more privacy-focused than others so far.
