TL;DR: Apple’s upcoming iOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, and tvOS 18 updates are expected to be “ambitious and compelling,” featuring generative AI improvements, especially in Siri. The revamped Siri may offer enhanced integration with Messages, auto-generated Apple Music playlists, and productivity app integration. Apple is investing $1 billion annually in AI research, aiming to compete with Google and OpenAI. The company is debating whether to deploy the new AI technology via the cloud, on-device, or a combination. (via ChatGPT)
I have never been so glad that I talked myself out of buying the new iPhone this year! Siri is the primary input method I use for my iPhone. I would say I make around 20-30 vocal requests a day. It will be so nice to be able to do things like create a meeting on a calendar with a conversation instead of having to frame the request in a single sentence! I hope they do this rollout well.
