Apple will officially launch its own artificial intelligence (AI) system ‘Apple Intelligence’ next week. An upgraded version with generative AI chat GPT will also be released within the year.
On the 23rd (local time), Apple announced that iOS 18.1, the new operating system (OS) for the iPhone, will be officially released to general consumers next week. iOS 18.1 is the first updated version of iOS 18 released by Apple last month. This is the first OS to be introduced with Apple Intelligence, which was unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) last June. For the first time, call recording is possible on the iPhone, and AI has the ability to convert and summarize recordings into text. The AI voice assistant ‘Siri’ has also been upgraded to understand the context and understand what the user was trying to say, even if the user makes a mistake while speaking or changes the content mid-sentence.
The beta version of iOS 18.2, which applies ChatGPT to Apple Intelligence, has also been released to some developers. This beta version is a kind of preview ahead of the official release in the future. In iOS 18.2, Siri directly answers user questions using ChatGPT. Apple users can use the service without separately subscribing to ChatGPT. Apple plans to release iOS 18.2 for general consumers within the year.
Despite the announcement that investors were looking forward to, Apple’s stock price fell 2.16% on this day due to the news that Apple had significantly reduced product production.
Taiwan’s TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, known as an Apple expert, announced today that Apple has reduced production of the iPhone 16, which was launched last month, by about 10 million units by the first half of next year. The Information, an American information technology (IT) media outlet, also cited sources on the same day and reported that Apple has significantly reduced Vision Pro production starting this summer and is likely to stop producing the current version of Vision Pro by the end of the year.
