Apple's secret weapon to offer us AI in complete confidentiality

When it's Mark Gurman who confirms it, we can believe it.The journalist ofBloombergensures that the new features powered by artificial intelligence that Apple should present in June will be based on calculations carried out locally. In other words, not only should your information not be transmitted to third parties, but, as a bonus, it would not land on the Apple firm's servers. Information which, however, remains to be considered with caution, because on the one hand Cupertino has already failed in this type of promise as during the Siri eavesdropping scandal, and because on the other hand the file could not be confirmed during the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC).

This event should be an opportunity to discover many new features for the iPhone, included with the update to iOS 18. Among these, we can notably cite the case of playlists generated by artificial intelligence within the platform. streaming Apple Music, or better search results with the proprietary Siri voice assistant. The latter will perhaps benefit from a partnership with OpenAI or Google, to provide us with more precise answers. It is difficult, however, to know whether Alphabet will take advantage of this to restrict its solution or not. Let us remember that Sundar Pichai's company also offers its own alternative with Gemini (Bard's new name).

What else on the menu?

Among the other new features that could see the light of day with iOS 18, we suppose thatKeynote and Pages may get generative AI. This would then recall the integration of similar capabilities within Google Docs and Google Slides, alternatives signed Alphabet and available from a browser or also in the form of a third-party app. At the same time, we think that Cupertino will take the opportunity to unveil a new “artificial intelligence” section for its App Store. Tools likeArc Searchor ChatGPT could then be referenced there, based on our own hypothesis.

Following the advent of ChatGPT, many wondered when Apple would tackle this hot topic. And for good reason: internally, the company would have decided to take the time. The fault ofoffers that are not very careful regarding respect for private life, among the competition. It is therefore not uncommon to see certain generative AI publishers resell your personal data to the highest bidder. Despite everything, remember that the App Store also allows developers to target you very precisely to suggest their third-party platforms, because iOS records your every move.

The appointment is given for the new AI features of iOS

The new features with artificial intelligence of iOS 18 should be announced during the presentation of the update, theJune 10. At seven o'clock, Apple is organizing its usual opening keynote there, preceding three days of festivities at the Worldwide Developer Conference. Third-party publishers are invited to discover these same features in more detail, particularly during sessions broadcast on YouTube for those who would not have had the opportunity to travel to California for the occasion. The event is being held on site, more precisely at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park.

iOS 18 is expected around the corner with other major new features, such as the ability to further personalize the home screen by allowing spaces between rows and columns of shortcuts to your favorite apps. At the same time, Apple is expected to announce the arrival of no less than four accessibility improvements. Finally, know that a navigation assistant with AI could support you when surfing with Safari. The browser is now the first used on iOS, but is losing ground to alternative solutions likeHello Browseror Brave.
