A tipster recently posted that Apple is working on a Siri revamp. This means that the tech giant is working hard to improve the abilities of this voice assistant. This improvement goes beyond just the design and user interface of the voice assistant but its functions and abilities.
To bring this revamp to life, the tipster points out that Apple is using LLM technology (large language models). These learning models are pre-trained on vast amounts of data to be able to better cater for the needs of the end users. This is an AI technology that a lot of big tech companies use to train their various models because of its flexibility and ability to handle tons of data at the same time.
While there is no official statement on this revamping of Apple’s voice assistant, the tipster points to its coming launch. According to the tipster, the revamped model of Apple’s voice assistant will be made available to the public next year. Precisely, this unveiling will take place during the WWDC 2024 event that will take place in the second quarter of the year.
What can users expect with the coming Siri revamp and how will it affect usage
In the words of the tech tipster via his X page, he says that Apple is working “to completely revamp Siri.” This move aims to integrate AI features into the app, hence making it a better virtual assistant. The tech giant is already working on this goal, but it won’t be available for all Apple devices.
Apple isn’t the only company that’s bringing AI features to its users on their devices. The likes of Google and Samsung are also improving upon or currently developing these AI features on their devices. Qualcomm, a leader in the smartphone chip manufacturing industry, is also working on its own AI feature embedded in future chips.
Google, on its part, has been adding AI capabilities to its chips ever since the Pixel 6 series. The Mountain View tech giant has been improving upon these AI features and showing them off in areas such as photography and machine learning. Samsung is currently in full throttle on plans to integrate AI capabilities into their coming devices.
So Apple isn’t alone on this move to bring AI to its devices with a complete Siri revamp. However, to make this possible, they’ll need to first integrate AI capabilities into the Bionic chips. This integration might kick off with the Apple iPhone 16 series, where users will start noticing this complete Siri revamp.
Not only will these AI features be available on Siri but also via cloud integration. With this coming revamp, Siri will get better at carrying out tasks and instructions given to it by the user. At this moment, netizens should take this report with a pinch of salt, as there are no official statements on Apple’s intentions regarding this matter.
