    Actually kind of make sense. Apple has previously used some product names that are tangentially “military” themed — AirPort Extreme and AirPower (RIP) comes to mind. So to play on military intelligence, naming it Apple Intelligence (or lighter weight variant of “AirIntelligence”) would fit the theme.

    Edit: Also BootCamp, Radar (former bug tracker name), and AirDrop. If you really stretch it, Launchpad, Gatekeeper, and Secure Enclave also has similar vibes.

      Pretty sure Apple Intelligence is a play on Artificial Intelligence, and not Military Intelligence.

        I know; the point is that it could be both and it fits the loosely represented theme.

        AirPower is not just military power of dominance, but also a power charger for Apple products.

        Similarly, Apple Intelligence is not just military intelligence but also an AI product/framework for the Apple platform.
