Gurman: iOS 18 to Feature 'Updates' to Control Center

[ApplesAreSweet&Sour]

Ah the only updates everyone with an iPhone 14 series or below will be getting.

AI is for 15 series only, thanks to Apple skimping on RAM for years and no actual direction or vision.

Apple can even argue that AI requires both 8GBs RAM AND also the added neural cores that are rumored to the next iPhone SoC.

My best bet, however, is that most iPhones, even those several years old, will get the bulk of or all AI features. But nothing will be done locally, on-device, all of it will require sending and receiving data from Apple's AI server.

iPhones 16 Pro will perform all or most AI stuff locally, on-device, and therefore much faster with less of an impact power usage.

So, it's not the lack of AI that will make you want to upgrade to iPhones 16 and newer. It's going to be how slow it performs and how much battery it drains by constantly sending and receiving data to Apple's servers.

So now OpenAI changes the world while they update the control center… way to go apple!

Do you expect Apple to just do one thing? Have you missed the other rumors about Apple and AI changes? Including a possible arrangement with OpenAI for some kind of integration.

Expecting to see some major changes! Hopefully it will be much more customisable.

I just want macOS style icons and a new redesigned control centre

And autocorrect 3.0. Because last year’s changes didn’t do much.

With AI we shouldn’t even need this. Remember these are intelliphones

 

[bushman4]

Don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed

With push of al it’s likely why pro models next Year will get 12GB of ram

Already is. Create a shortcut. Or add your doctors as a contact.

Do you know how many phone numbers come from different lines? Pharmacys? Different doctors?

You supposed to put everyone you're expecting a call from in your contacts?

Even Apple support went to voicemail -- because it's turned on. It should at *least* be like AirDrop and be able to turn it off for an hour or the rest of the day.

Creating a shortcut is dumb. Nobody knows how to do this. Give us a toggle in control center.
