Since the explosion of ChatGPT in 2023, the development of AI technology has been like riding a rocket, and all major fields have begun to roll up AIGC, and the smartphone market is naturally no exception.
After Huawei, OPPO, vivo, Samsung and other major manufacturers released new machines equipped with AI large models, Apple also began to act. At Apple's 2024 Q1 earnings conference, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple will announce new AI features this year.
And there are many indications that iOS 18 may add generative AI technology, becoming one of the most upgraded versions in Apple's history, let's find out.
As we all know, Apple has been deeply involved in the field of AI for many years, and has acquired a number of related technology companies, planning to develop its own AI models and bring richer functionality to Siri. And Cook said that Apple has already made a lot of progress in the field of AI and will continue to invest more in the future, and share these later this year.
It's not hard to see that Cook's remarks are basically a clear indication of the upcoming changes to iOS. After all, in 2023, when AI technology is growing explosively, Apple has not made too many outstanding achievements in the field of AI technology. Developers have already found traces of Apple's testing of AI models in the iOS 17.4 beta system, including text processing commands such as "summarizing" and "answering questions," which are expected to be part of the main features of the new Siri version.
You know, Siri is Apple's intelligent voice assistant, which has always attracted much attention. With iOS 18, Siri will get a major upgrade, with generative AI technology that makes the way you answer questions and complete sentences more intelligently. You can talk to Siri more naturally and even let it help you with complex tasks. In addition, Siri will also support more languages and cultural backgrounds, so that more people can enjoy the convenience of intelligent voice assistants.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the new AI features, the media revealed that Apple has fully optimized the underlying architecture of iOS 18, making the system faster and more responsive. Whether you're opening an app, switching tasks, or scrolling through pages, you'll feel that silky smoothness.
In addition to speed and stability, Apple also focuses on battery optimization. iOS 18 extends the battery life of devices through intelligent scheduling and energy-saving technologies. This means you can use your phone for longer periods of time without worrying about running out of battery.
If all goes well, Apple may be announcing new features in iOS 18 at WWDC in June this year, and Siri updates should take up quite a bit of space, so let's wait and see.
