1. Apple’s iOS 18 will include AI features such as summarizing long text messages using on-device processing.
2. The update will also feature generative AI, super-powered Siri, better accessibility, and more improvements.
3. Apple’s AI features will prioritize privacy by running the text analysis software entirely on-device, rather than in the cloud like competitors.
Apple’s upcoming iOS 18 will introduce new artificial intelligence features, including the ability to summarize long text messages using AI similar to the Humane AI Pin’s “Catch me up” command. Sources familiar with Apple’s plans have revealed that generative AI will be used to provide TLDR versions of text messages by scanning and identifying keywords and phrases to create a text summary. This feature will work on Safari and Messages, as well as other text fields or digital documents.
Previous hints at Apple’s AI plans were seen in the iOS 17.4 beta, which referenced a framework called “SiriSummarization” that makes calls to the ChatGPT API. Apple has also been testing its own AI chatbot called “Apple GPT” and developing a framework called “Ajax” to create large language models (LLMs). These AI features, including the summarization tool, will use on-device processing for faster responses, more privacy, and the ability to work offline.
The ability to perform text analysis entirely on-device gives Apple an advantage in terms of privacy protection compared to competitors who rely on cloud processing. The iOS 18 update is expected to be released at WWDC 2024 on June 10, and if the rumors are true, it could be a significant upgrade for iPhone users.
