Apple CEO Tim Cook has made it clear<\/a> that AI features are coming soon, and a new report from AppleInsider<\/em><\/a> offers more details about what we might see in the next version of iOS. One of the big focuses will be on Siri, which will reportedly gain the ability to analyze and summarize texts within the Messages app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n AppleInsider<\/em> previously said a similar \u201cIntelligent Search\u201d feature is coming to Safari in iOS 18<\/a>, allowing users to summarize webpages. Apple\u2019s large language model (LLM), called Ajax, will power these features. Several papers published by Apple<\/a> suggest that the company is working on bringing on-device AI processing to the iPhone, and AppleInsider<\/em>\u2019s report further aligns with this. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The report says that Ajax uses on-device processing to generate simple responses, but it may have to contact a server to fetch answers to more complex requests. That may be where Google or OpenAI<\/a> will come in, as Apple is reportedly exploring deals with both companies to help bring AI to the iPhone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Apple\u2019s AI features are also expected to come with an emphasis on privacy. AppleInsider<\/em> reports that Apple will show privacy warnings before Ajax uses information from Safari or Messages. During Apple\u2019s earnings<\/a> call on Thursday, Cook said that Apple continues to \u201cfeel very bullish\u201d about AI and that the company will have some \u201cexciting things\u201d to share soon. He also noted that Apple has \u201cadvantages\u201d that will help the company\u2019s AI features stand out, including an \u201cunwavering focus on privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
