Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now confirmed an important update on Apple’s upcoming iOS version. He wrote in his Power On newsletter that Apple is gearing up to integrate AI in as many apps as possible.
Apple iOS 18 to get AI features
Apple recently rolled out its latest iOS 17 operating system (OS) for eligible devices last month. According to Apple analyst Gurman, AI is being considered a “pretty big miss internally” as rivals Microsoft and Google have already updated several of their products with the technology.
If we belive in the latest news, then we must witness the major changes in iOS 18. According to Gurman, Apple is all set to spend close to $1 billion per year on the generative AI push.
“The new features should improve how both Siri and the Messages app can field questions and auto-complete sentences, mirroring recent changes to competing services,” as per the Bloomberg report.
Gurman predicted a combination of on-device and a cloud-based setup approach for the implementation of AI features by Apple. “An on-device approach would work faster and help safeguard privacy, but deploying Apple’s LLMs via the cloud would allow for more advanced operations,” the report read.
