Apple’s iOS 18 may be ‘the biggest’ update in iPhone history by incorporating AI

Monitoring Desk

NEW YORK:  In what is anticipated to be a groundbreaking development for iPhone users, Apple is gearing up to unveil its highly awaited iOS 18 at the upcoming WWDC event in June, with a public release scheduled for September.

Analyst Mark Gurman, a renowned figure in the tech industry, suggests that this update is poised to be the most significant in the history of iPhones.

One of the key highlights of iOS 18 is expected to be a revamped Siri, incorporating AI and large language models (LLMs) to provide more intelligent and precise responses.

The Messages app is set to receive its own set of enhancements, enabling it to handle queries and automatically complete sentences.

Apple is reportedly exploring the integration of generative AI into development tools like Xcode, empowering developers to create new applications more efficiently. The move aims to streamline the development process and enhance the overall user experience.

Addressing the realm of music, iOS 18 is predicted to bring about substantial changes to Apple Music. Following a redesign in iOS 17 that introduced collaborative playlists similar to Spotify, Gurman foresees the introduction of ‘auto-generated playlists.’

These playlists would leverage AI to craft personalized song recommendations, potentially revolutionizing the way users discover and enjoy music.

The speculated redesign of the operating system is seen by some as Apple’s strategic response to a dip in iPhone 15 sales, which witnessed a four percent decline.

Apple has been perceived as lagging in the realm of generative AI, trailing behind competitors like Microsoft and Google, who introduced their own AI services two years after the pioneering ChatGPT set the trend for the industry.
