More details have emerged about Apple's plans for artificial intelligence features with iOS 18. A new AppleInsider report claims the update will let iPhone and iPad users summarize long text messages using AI, similar to the Humane AI Pin's "Catch me up" command, as well as generate simple text responses.
It's one of a swath of improvements and upgrades tipped for iOS 18, ranging from generative AI, a super-powered Siri, better accessibility and more. Citing sources familiar with Apple's upcoming software update, AppleInsider reports that Apple's generative AI can give you the TLDR version for long text messages. To do this, Apple's on-device AI (more on that in a bit) will reportedly scan a text and choose certain keywords and phrases within it to designate as text topics. "For instance, if a name appears at the top of a text, the software will likely recognize the name as belonging to the text’s author,” the outlet explained.
