iOS 18 promises to be the largest update in the history of the mobile OS
The announcement of iOS 18 is scheduled for the WWDC conference in June, and it will be a major update with many new AI features. Apple considers iOS 18 to be “one of the biggest iOS updates, if not the biggest, in the company’s history.”
Apple hopes that iOS 18 could be its most “ambitious and compelling” update in recent years, 9to5mac reports. In addition to the major new AI features, iOS 18 will have “much more” on the iPhone. “Apple software chief Craig Federighi told employees last year that the OS, codenamed Crystal, would have ambitious changes in every aspect,” Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports.
I was told that the new operating system is considered by the company to be one of the biggest updates to iOS. With this in mind, the Apple developer conference in June should be very interesting.
Gurman previously reported that Apple is planning a number of new AI integrations in iOS 18:
- An updated version of Siri, which is more intelligent and able to take advantage of the new AI system, which includes the technology of large language models.
- Integration of AI into the Messages app, which can “ask questions and automatically complete sentences”.
- New AI features for Apple Music to create “automatically generated playlists”.
- Integrate generative AI into iWork apps, including Keynote and Pages.
- Adding generative AI features to Xcode so developers can “build new apps faster.”
There are currently no additional details about other new features in iOS 18.
However, it is obvious that Apple plans to change not only the functions of artificial intelligence.
