Siri is set for a major upgrade
With Apple’s WWDC 2024 event and the accompanying iOS 18 reveal fast approaching, speculation is mounting about what kind of AI features Apple might introduce – and a new report gives us a few more major clues.
This report comes from the New York Times (via MacRumors), and says that an upgraded version of Siri is going to be central to iOS 18. Efforts to make Siri a more competent competitor to ChatGPT have apparently been underway for more than a year.
The new and improved Siri is going to be « more conversational and versatile », according to the NYT – and it’ll be better at keeping chats going, rather than replying to one question at a time. It’s said that Apple has shifted extra resources to Siri development, which was part of the reason the Apple Car was abandoned.
