Apple has iOS 18 in development, described by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman as one of the most innovative updates in the company's history. Eagerly awaited by iPhone users around the world, the new version of the operating system promises significant transformations, especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
Gurman, known for his accurate predictions about Apple products, points out that the main attraction of iOS 18 will be the advanced integration of AI. This includes an improved Siri that will revolutionize the interaction between users and their devices. With this step, Apple responds to the growing demand for cutting-edge technologies among consumers.
The operating system, codenamed "Crystal", is not limited to AI. "Ambitious changes across the board" are anticipated, although specific details have yet to be released. In previous editions of the PowerOn newsletter, Gurman offered a glimpse of some of these features, but left the audience in suspense about the others.
iOS 18 is Prepared by Apple for iPhone and iPad with Major Changes
Apple reacted to the impact of generative AI technologies in the industry, and although it admitted that it has been working on these technologies for years, it came as a surprise to many. Siri will be revamped with expanded AI capabilities comparable to those of competitors like Samsung and Google, improving interaction with apps like Messages and providing more relevant and accurate responses.
Apple's goal is to expand the use of AI in as many services as possible, facilitating innovative features such as automatically generating audio playlists. Ways to assist in writing in Pages or creating slides in Keynote are also being explored, plus improvements to productivity apps, security and performance.
In line with industry trends, Apple will adopt a hybrid approach to data processing, combining the power of devices with that of the cloud.
Apple's interest in AI is not only a reaction to Google's progress in the field, but also a strategy to compensate for the lack of significant hardware innovations for the iPhone 16. Thus, iOS 18 is seen as a crucial element in maintaining Apple's position at the forefront of innovation technological.
iOS 18 is expected to be unveiled at WWDC 2024, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, and will be released in September, sparking anticipation and excitement among Apple fans.
