We're almost there! Appleprepares the arrival of iOS 18.4 for the month of March, Afterthe planned rollout of iOS 18.3end of January or beginning of February. If the latter appears asa minor update(according to the information we currently have), this will in no way be the case for iOS 18.4 which will bring its share of new features. among these, three particularly deserve our attention.
Siri will (finally) understand you better
Siri, long criticized for its often terse and unnatural responses, especially in comparison with more recent language models,will finally benefit from its makeover. Apple's voice assistant will get a makeover with the introduction of two major features: Personal Context and On-Screen Awareness, both powered byApple Intelligence.
These additions will allow Sirito analyze your queries correctly, considering your recent activities and your various connected devices. For example, if you ask a question about the latest MacBook, Siri can not only provide relevant information based on your interests, but also automatically create a reminder to visit the nearest Apple Store. We can therefore imagine many interactions much more fluid than before between Siri, the iPhone, the Mac, the iPad and other Apple devices.
Apple's AI comes to your favorite apps
The power of Apple Intelligence will no longer be limited to a few native applications. The Cupertino company plans to expand the compatibility of its in-house AI modelto a greater number of third-party applications. Developers from leading social media platforms and business tools are already working on integrating these new features, promising an enriched user experience from launch.
How will Apple ensure thatyour data will be protectedwhen they will be shared with third-party applications? For the moment, there is no answer to this question, but it is worth asking.
Apple Intelligence comes to France
If Apple Intelligence currently shines with its mastery of different English dialects (United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, South Africa), the April update will considerably broaden its linguistic horizon. We will finally have the right toput our hands on Apple's AI suite, as well as our Italian and Spanish neighbors. China and Vietnam are also on the list of countries that will benefit from this addition, which was still one of the most anticipated features of last year.
Remember that forbenefit from these new features, you will need to have at least oneiPhone 15 Pro, despite the general compatibility of iOS 18with older models. An entry ticket that might make you complain a little, but Apple Intelligence requires considerable computing power due toits operation locally.
- iOS 18.4 in March will transform Siri, making it more intuitive with advanced contextual features.
- Third-party apps will soon be able to take advantage of Apple's AI.
- Apple Intelligence is finally opening up to French and other languages, but remains reserved for the most recent iPhone models.
