I'm not much of an artist. When I try to draw an image on my iPhone or iPad, the result often looks like something created by a two-year-old. That's why I like Apple's new Image Wand. Part of the AI-powered Apple Intelligence, Image Wand will transform your rough sketches into high-quality images
Supporting only the Apple Notes app for now, Image Wand also can use AI to modify existing images, conjure up an image from empty space, and convert text into an image. You're even able to choose a specific style for your image: Animation, Illustration, or Sketch. To create the initial image, you can use your finger or a stylus like the Apple Pencil.

If you're like me, the drawings you create may look as if if they were produced by a child. Or you can simply use a drawing done by a real kid on an iPhone or iPad. Your child might then enjoy seeing their sketches come to life.
The only limitation is that you need the right type of device. That means an iPhone 16, an iPhone 15 Pro, an iPhone 15 Pro Max, any iPad model with an M1 or later chip, or an iPad mini with an A17 Pro chip. You'll also need iOS/iPadOS 18.2.
Let's see how this works.
