In a recent report by Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, it’s revealed that the highly anticipated iOS 18 will introduce AI-powered features, set to revolutionize user experience. Here’s what we know so far:
Local AI Functionality:
According to Gurman, iOS 18 will mark a shift as AI features will operate locally on the device, without the need for cloud servers. This move hints at enhanced privacy and efficiency for users.
Partnerships and Potential:
Gurman suggests that while some AI functions may still rely on cloud processing, Apple has engaged in discussions with industry giants like Google, OpenAI, and Baidu for potential collaborations in the realm of generative neural networks.
Future Prospects:
While iOS 18 may not initially integrate Apple’s AI bot, speculations arise regarding the adoption of the Google Gemini algorithm or similar equivalents. Additionally, Apple’s recent investments in infrastructure for training large language models hint at the company’s potential to develop proprietary generative neural networks in the future.
Rumors abound about the debut of AI functions across various iOS 18 products, including Spotlight, Siri, and Safari. Gurman predicts enhanced capabilities for Siri in answering complex questions, along with a new feature in the Messages app that generates text based on minimal input.
As anticipation builds, Apple is expected to unveil iOS 18 at its upcoming WWDC developer conference from June 10 to 14, adds NIX Solutions. We’ll keep you updated as more information surfaces.
