This article is click bate written to hook on to the buzz / drama around Apple intelligence.

This feature is almost 20 years old. Visual Voicemail was one of the early “holy shit” features that the first iPhone launched with.

I’m sure the model has changed a lot in 2 decades, but weird voicemail transcriptions are not new. We’ve all experienced these for decades.
