First, Siri will get a new UI that will no longer appear below the screen in a circle but on the bezel, with the AI assistant glowing when prompted. New cards will also appear atop the screen, signifying that it is the AI.
Context is the key to Siri's new upgrade as it will already take note of the previous conversation or request, with the assistant remembering it moving forward.
Moreover, Siri will have access to the on-screen content and will offer its help whenever forms need to be filled out or a photo uploaded that matches the requirement.
Apple Intelligence for Siri's Assistance
Cupertino regards this 'new era' of Siri as part of its massive integration of Apple Intelligence into its system. The assistant offers a "more natural" experience, upgraded to match the likes of modern AI chatbots.
Siri will also have access to apps, learn the user's data, and be intuitive in suggestions, actions, and more. Additionally, Apple promised a new standard in its Privacy now that AI is here, touting its on-device processing to bring a more personal and protected approach.
Moreover, ChatGPT's integration with Siri will help in write-ups and compositions.
Apple's timeline for Siri's bloom into modern-day AI will roll out over the next year.
Apple's Dive Into AI
It was recently unveiled that Cupertino will name its AI technology as Apple Intelligence, a playful take on the acronyms of artificial intelligence, redefining it in the industry.
Of course, one of the most significant focuses of the initial reports and rumors behind Apple's dive into AI is Siri, its long-time AI assistant. That said, the technology boasts a more powerful AI experience to bring in its upcoming release, which is exactly what WWDC previewed for all.
Siri is stepping up to the world more than it was initially made for, now touting generative AI features that provide a complete AI assistant experience that will rival Gemini, Copilot, Galaxy AI, and more. Apple's Siri revamp is not exclusive to the iPhone only, as it is also accessible across the iPad and Mac, promising improved capabilities alongside the choice to use ChatGPT soon.
