What will AI in iOS 18 likely be used for?

The artificial intelligence ofiOS 18should allow iPhones to benefit from many additional features during their next update. This is revealed by new information signedApple Insiderand published yesterday. According to our colleagues' report, we should particularly benefit from a summary of notifications created using generative AI. Internally, the code name of this new feature would beGreymatter Catch Up.

At the same time, our source of the day believes that an integration between this function andSiriwould be there. This would then allow us to receive a summary of the alerts but this time announced orally, ideal during a cooking or driving session in order to have our hands free. However, we cannot verify the veracity of this information with confidence, but next month's keynote should allow us to find out more.

A language model for Safari

Apple Insideralso believes that the language model “Ajax“, an alternative to GPT-4, will be integrated into the proprietary Safari browser. Users could then request it in order to generate a summary of a long article, which competing tools from OpenAI or Google (Gemini) already know how to do today.

At the same time, the voice assistant Siri should be equipped withbetter conversational skills.Apple Insiderfurther assumes that the Apple company's in-house voice assistant will be equipped with “more natural” voices, whereas today it is only possible to choose two. One is masculine, the other is feminine.

Improved photo editing with iOS 18

In addition, iOS 18 would come with a feature called “Clean Up” and integrated directly into the Photos app, although we imagine that this could also have its place in Preview. This option will automatically delete a subject in a shot, depending onApple Insider.

iOS 18should be presented with great fanfare at the Steve Jobs Theater during the opening keynote of the Worldwide Developer Conference. This presentation is scheduled for June 10 at 7 p.m. (Paris time). An audience of journalists and developers has already been invited, and you will be able to follow the event live in our columns.
