Apple is rumored to be equipping its upcoming iOS 18 with advanced AI features that can run directly on the iPhone without needing to connect to a cloud server. This news comes from foreign media reports, with Bloomberg stating that Apple’s plans include integrating new artificial intelligence functions into the operating system.
According to the reports, Apple is expected to unveil iOS 18 and other software updates at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) from June 10 to 14. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman revealed in a recent “Power On” column Q&A that the new AI features in iOS 18 will operate entirely on the device, without the need for cloud processing. This marks a significant shift in how Apple utilizes AI technology in its products.
While iOS 18 is not expected to feature Apple’s own ChatGPT-like chatbot, there are speculations that other chatbots like Gemini could be integrated into the operating system. Additionally, analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu have hinted that Apple is actively acquiring AI servers, suggesting a possible expansion of AI functions operated by Apple’s own cloud in the future.
Rumors suggest that iOS 18 will incorporate AI capabilities into various iPhone apps, including Spotlight search tool, Siri, Safari, Apple Music, messages, and health functions. Siri is expected to be able to handle more complex queries, while the Messages app may receive an auto-complete feature for sentences.
As the tech world eagerly anticipates the release of iOS 18, all eyes are on Apple’s WWDC event to see how the company will revolutionize AI integration in its mobile operating system. Stay tuned for more updates as the event draws closer.
