Exciting Insights Unveiled about iOS 18

According to The Information, Apple seems to be planning to utilize language models to enhance Siri's intelligence in iOS 18. For instance, Siri could perform tasks such as capturing a series of photos, converting them into GIFs, and sending them to friends. Currently, you can automatically convert photos into GIFs using the Shortcut app, but it needs to be manually configured.

The functionality of Siri will be similar to what users can accomplish with the Shortcut app. Shortcuts have become an integral part of the iOS operating system and can be used to swiftly execute tasks. Apple maintains a collection of shortcut options for everything, from removing backgrounds from images to creating to-do lists.

The Information indicates that Apple is aiming to introduce new Siri features through the iOS 18 update next year. Apple's competitor, Google, is also striving to enhance Google Assistant using language model software capable of handling more complex tasks. Therefore, “The bitten apple” may seek to surpass Google or at least introduce similar functionality simultaneously.

Siri has long faced criticism for lagging behind voice assistants from other companies like Google and Alexa, primarily due to Apple's focus on security and privacy. Many Siri tasks are performed on the device rather than through cloud servers, so Apple will need to strike a balance between privacy and functionality by applying language models to Siri.

Let's wait and see what other new features the “Apple House” will bring for the upcoming iOS 18 update!
