Siri will finally get better in spring 2025 when Apple makes its Apple Intelligence AI system<\/a> available to everyone via its iOS 18.4 update, according to Bloomberg<\/em>\u2019s Mark Gurman in the latest Power On <\/em>newsletter. That\u2019s more specific than Apple has been \u2014 so far, it\u2019s only said the flagship AI features<\/a> will be available next year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Apple regularly doles out its new features piecemeal, in point updates, across its operating systems. So it\u2019s possible, for instance, that Siri will gain the ability (via Apple Intelligence) to do things on your behalf<\/a> like dig your ID out of your 20,000-photo-deep library in Photos and copy your driver\u2019s license number to enter into an online form, but perhaps the AI-powered emoji generation or writing assistance features won\u2019t be ready yet. Gurman doesn\u2019t speak directly to that, but it\u2019s good to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n What\u2019s coming first should become clearer as beta versions of iOS 18 start incorporating the features later this year and the 18.4 release approaches. In the meantime, features like ChatGPT integration<\/a>, a new Siri interface that ditches the old circle graphic for a pulsing rainbow around the inside of the screen bezel, and deeper product knowledge that lets Siri give you basic tech support<\/a> are expected this fall. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Down the road, Apple\u2019s AI plan apparently includes those AirPods with embedded cameras that pop up in rumors from time to time, such as in last week\u2019s rumor from supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo<\/a>, saying they would have infrared sensors and be used in concert with the Vision Pro, for hand gesture and motion detection. Gurman describes something akin to Meta\u2019s Ray-ban glasses<\/a> \u2014 for example, AI could process imagery from them to describe things in your environment or help you navigate while you\u2019re walking. These new AirPods Pro, he writes, might be two generations away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
