A reliable source for Apple’s future intentions, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, has revealed new information about what to expect from iOS 18.
Transcription of Voice Memos
Voice memos will be converted to text using AI, much to features found on other platforms like Google Pixel Recorder. The Voice Memos app that comes with iOS may incorporate this feature straight.
Photo Retouching
It’s anticipated that this feature would contain generative AI editing capabilities like object removal and color optimization. An update to the Photos app is expected to bring these features.
Improved Searching
AI improvements will make searches on iOS 18 and macOS 15 faster and more dependable. There is a chance to include more support for natural language inquiries and more app search results.
Automated Responses
Users of the Apple Mail and Apple Messages apps will be able to examine and amend ideas before sending them thanks to the generation of intelligent AI responses. The purpose of this function is to make users’ writing tasks easier.
Enhancements for Safari
With the use of AI, Safari will have better web search that returns more pertinent results. The browsing experience will be improved with the availability of brief summaries of websites visited.
Natural Siri
With Apple’s extensive language models, talking to Siri will get easier and her responses will sound more natural. Making Siri sound more human and less like a bot is the goal.
Artificial Intelligence-Powered Emojis
Based on what users type, an AI emoji generator will quickly generate unique emojis. Users will find matching emojis more quickly with the use of this functionality.
Astute Synopses
To reduce reading time, smart summaries will be embedded into messages, emails, webpages, and notifications. This function, which has previously leaked, looks to be a big addition to iOS 18.
Customizations for the Home Screen
App shortcuts on the home screen can be placed in any manner, not simply a grid, and their colors can be changed to match themes. Although not directly related to AI, this feature echoes Gurman’s earlier remarks regarding more personalization choices.
