iOS 18 and macOS 15 will offer an array of new AI features such as auto-generated emojis, suggested replies to emails and messages, and more, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports.


A significant portion of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is expected to focus on AI features. Writing his latest "Power On" newsletter, Gurman explained that Apple's AI strategy emphasizes providing practical tools for ordinary users, with new features for core apps like Safari, Photos, and Notes. Apple will apparently use AI to deliver the following new features:

  • Photo retouching.
  • Voice memo transcription.
  • Suggested replies to emails and messages.
  • Auto-generated emojis based on the content of a user's messages, providing all-new emoji for any occasion beyond the existing catalog.
  • Improved Safari web search.
  • Faster and more reliable searches in Spotlight.
  • More natural interactions with Siri.
  • More advanced version of Siri designed for the Apple Watch, optimized for "on-the-go tasks."
  • Smart recaps of missed notifications and individual messages, web-pages, news articles, documents, notes, and more.
  • Developer tools for Xcode.

AI features that require less processing power will run entirely on-device, but more demanding tools will operate via the cloud. Apple will apparently tout the privacy advantages of this plan.

Apple is purportedly considering marketing many of its new AI tools as a "preview," at least in beta versions of iOS 18 before its official launch in September, to make it clear that the technology is unfinished.

Like it or not, probably-old dudes above me here, lots of people use emojis heavily in text conversations rather than typing out unique descriptions. I for one think it might be kind of fun to invent phrases that would trigger emoji creation, like "goth sadness." :)
When the day comes and Apple knows when to insert fifteen ironic happy smileys after I tell someone I missed my flight, then I call the green light on it. Not before.

If “auto generated emojis” really make it as a keynote feature then Apple does have an AI problem.
 
RCS is useful, it's just a better SMS - it's not replacing iMessage.
I am fine with sms. Rcs could and should stay with lagdroid as far as I’m concerned.

I’m going to be annoyed if I can’t turn it off but seeing as we can turn off iMessage idk why we wouldn’t be able to turn off rcs.


am I OOTL on RCS? why does it coming to iOS 18 suck?
Because i have no use for it nor do I need it to talk to android users. SMS works just fine and I have iMessage.
