Apple is developing a new range of AI features for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, including a "smarter version of Siri.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 is rumored to launch with exclusive artificial intelligence( AI) features powered by the iOS 18. These new features could include improved Siri performance, enhanced camera capabilities and more.

According to MacRumors, Apple at WWDC 2024 will reveal a turbo-charged version of Siri powered by large language models (LLMs) that will debut in iOS 18, but some new cutting-edge generative AI features could be exclusive to iPhone 16 models,

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman last month, revealed that the Cupertino-based tech giant developing a new range of AI features for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, including a “smarter version of Siri” and other features powered by large language models (LLMs).

Apple is still deciding whether to run these AI features on the device, in the cloud, or using a hybrid approach. It is also unclear whether some AI features will require specific hardware or be available on all devices that can run iOS 18.

“However, according to new information independently shared by the leaker @Tech_Reve, iOS 18 will bring the company’s new LLM to millions of existing devices by using cloud-based AI, while new on-device AI features will likely remain exclusive to the iPhone 16,” said MacRumors.

In terms of iOS 18 features, Gurman’s sources mention a revamped interaction between ‌Siri‌ and the Messages app, enabling users to field complex questions and auto-complete sentences more effectively.

You can also expect auto-generated Apple Music playlists and integration with productivity apps like Pages and Keynote, such as AI-assisted writing and slide deck creation. Where this patina of AI integration crosses over into new hardware requirements is still unknown.

All iPhone 16 models may have a new button with an unknown purpose. Apple is reportedly working on prototypes of the iPhone 16 with an extra capacitive button, internally known as the “Capture Button.”

The button is located on the same side as the Power button, and is a capacitive button that is able to detect pressure and touch, providing haptic feedback when pressed.
