Latest whispers concerning the upcoming iOS update - iPhone sees emoji rebellion?

At Apple, the topic is often about their software like the iPhone's operating system, iOS. It's possible that the next version, iOS 18, will bring a significant AI upgrade for the iPhone.

The rumors align with this idea, and even Apple hinted at their interest in AI during the launch of their new M4 chip in early May. Described as a focus on AI performance, the M4 chip can now be found in the new iPad Pro.

Upgrade for Siri

There's a strong chance that the highlight event for iOS 18 could be a game-changer for Apple's voice assistant, Siri. One theory circulating is that Apple will officially announce a collaboration with OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, during the WWDC conference. If true, this would mean Siri will soon be powered by a large language model similar to ChatGPT.

The result? Siri would be capable of carrying out entire conversations, answering complex questions, and sounding more natural.

An abundance of AI features

Besides Siri, numerous artificial intelligence features are also believed to find their way into various areas of the iPhone. These speculated features include:

  • Automatically removing objects from photos in the Photos app.
  • Transcribing voice memos.
  • Summarizing missed notifications.
  • Providing AI suggestions for text messages and emails.
  • Creating emojis that fit the context of a message.
  • Generating personalized playlists for Apple Music.

A new era for the home screen

While AI is expected to take center stage in iOS 18, it seems that there will be another anticipated feature: more freedom in customizing the home screen for iPhone users. According to whispers, the ability to rearrange apps freely and leave empty spaces will become a reality.

Additionally, it's rumored that app icon colors can be customized.

Will my iPhone get the update?

In the past, we've seen new iOs versions unveiled at the WWDC conferences in the summer. However, the updates aren't usually released until the new iPhones come out in the fall. Fortunately, rumors suggest that all iPhones currently running iOS 17 will receive this update.

Besides iOS 18, updates for iPads (iPadOS 18) and MacBooks (macOS 15) are rumored to showcase similar AI functionality.
