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." :)
🥱
 
xpost - Ok. Can we get multiple user profiles and the ability to sync apple watch with iPad. If they still want to ball and chain watch to iPhone, they could require iPhone for watch activation but still allow the watch app on iPad for syncing / managing watch once it's been activated on iPhone.

Let’s hope the actual implementation is more impressive than the list. Yikes.
Do you really think Apple are going to leak everything to Gurman before the event?

These are teasers. To whet your appetite. Details to follow. More after the event. And no doubt this is the foundation work to what is to come. The road map of where Siri and AI are headed. Feedback and usage stats are going to push this in useful ways.
 
I hope the transcription feature makes its way into FCP/iMovie and also that captions/transcriptions in them can be used as titles and standard caption files. A special caption title that optionally links the design edits made to the first title to all the titles for those in countries where it's standard to have captions burned in.
 
Hopefully Safari will support suggested forum replies.

Excellent foresight!
In the not too distant future, websites will be built by AI with AI generated forums. AI will then create questions and replies in these forums …. and AI will read them.

Oh wait, didn’t we see this already in science fiction movies?
 


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.

First two seem useful, if they work properly. Don't use Safari, Spotlight, Mail, and Siri much. Don't use too many emojis too. So, the updates are not so useful for me.
Looks like it is a good update for regular iPhone users.

Considering what MS and Google has announced, This list is a joke. I hope Apple has better plans than this

If they need a current processor to make Siri better than Google Assistant on a Google Nest speaker from 2018, they're not very good. I would think that someone would have graduated from university that had a Computer Science degree in the last few years that could make Siri work, even on older equipment.
 
Along with rcs crap coming to iOS 18, I’ll be turning most of these off.
RCS helps everyone with iPhone to iPhone messaging as well as to Android and is a hell of a lot better fallback, higher quality and secure than SMS/MMS.

But we learned in the other forum you’d rather Apple fangirl to spite yourself rather than actually improve your texting experience. Sad, actually.

rcs don't even work most of time
 
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.



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.
This is such an illogically loaded and fundamentally flawed take it's borderline laughable. It's like me ranting about a pride wallpaper showing up as an option despite the fact that I don't have to use it. RCS simply adds an intermediary fallback that maintains iMessage's rich features while still routing to carriers if iMessage has any issues or the receiving device doesn't have good signal.
