Apple released updates for its iPhone, iPad, and Mac software that include a ChatGPT integration with Siri. This integration allows Siri to access the OpenAI service to answer complicated questions without storing user requests. Users do not need an OpenAI account to use the integration, but they can upgrade through Apple. The iOS 18.2 release is crucial for Apple’s iPhone 16 lineup, which relies on Apple Intelligence features. Another update next year will bring improvements to Siri, such as the ability to take actions inside apps.
Investors believe that these updates will boost iPhone sales and solidify Apple as a leader in consumer AI. The integration is also a win for OpenAI, putting its product in front of millions of iPhone users. Users need an iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, or any iPhone 16 model to access Apple Intelligence, which primarily uses cloud servers. Users can sign up for the waitlist within the settings app to activate the service.
The updates also include Apple’s image generating app, Playground, which creates images based on people or prompts, and Image Wand, a feature to remove objects or flaws from photos. With the latest software update, users can take advantage of Apple Intelligence and its various features, enhancing their overall user experience and device capabilities.
