We all know that every new generation of iPhone is released, we have to be complained about, and the most complained about is that the upgrade is not powerful, in fact, iOS is the same, since Apple released iOS 14 in 2020, there have been no major changes in the next few major versions. The good news is that iOS 18 is coming, and this upgrade is the biggest in the past 4 years.
A leap forward in evolution
At the heart of this update is the launch of iOS 18 with generative AI tools to make iPhones smarter, and we all know that generative AI has become the focus of the tech industry, and many phone manufacturers are working hard to integrate large models into devices to provide smarter assistant services. In this trend, Apple is not to be outdone, and Siri, which is already behind the times, is clearly facing a major upgrade.
Siri: From assistant to partner
Apple has been testing its "Ajax" large language model since the beginning of 2023 and is considering using it to add autocomplete and autosummarization features to productivity apps, including Pages and Keynote. At the same time, the Xcode tools for app developers are expected to add AI code auto-completion. Apple is also exploring the integration of AI technology into Apple Music to enable features such as auto-generated playlists.
However, Mark Gurman believes that Apple's generative AI plans won't happen right away, and the whole will not be completed until at least 2025, so this year's iOS 18 may only include some of these features.
Interact seamlessly across devices
Another highlight of the new version of Siri is cross-device use. Whether you're asking a question on your iPhone or continuing a conversation on your iPad, Siri connects seamlessly to make your multi-device experience smoother.
AI: More than just Siri
In addition to Siri, Apple also plans to apply Ajax AI to productivity tools such as Pages and Keynote, bringing autocomplete and auto-summarization features. Imagine that you only need to provide an outline to write a report, and leave the rest to your iPhone.
