For several weeks,developers have access to the iOS 18.1 beta. This update provides a preview of upcoming changes to Siri, Apple's voice assistant. The arrival of Apple Intelligence promises, as a reminder, to shake up its operation.
Last June, during WWDC, the firm ofCupertino revealed its vision of AIwith Apple Intelligence. Expectations were high, especially regarding Siri, but what is it really? 9to5mac journalist and developer Fernando Silva compared the new Siri to the old one. Let's see what he thinks.
Half-hearted progress?
In addition, Fernando Silva specifies thatApple Intelligence is still far from being ready.No ChatGPT-style continuous conversation system, nor deep integration with apps. We're talking more about cosmetic improvements for now.
In terms of responsiveness, the new Siri is on par with the old one, whether from the locked screen, the home screen or an app. The only notable difference: you can interact with the interface behind Siri, which was impossible before.
An understanding of the context to be perfected
The Siri of iOS 18.1 stands out a little more on location-related requests. It is capable of launching navigation, where the old one was content to display a file. Butoverall, the two versions remain neck and neck.
Same for factual questions:the new Siri has a slight head start thanks to better interaction with apps. But it remains far from a true personal assistant, with limited understanding of context.
Even if the improvements to Siri in iOS 18.1 are timid for the moment, we must not lose sight of the fact that this is only a first step. We can trust the Cupertino company to refine its assistant over the course of updates,as she did with the Vision Pro avatars.
