Apple enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024, scheduled for June 10, as it could mark a major turning point for the tech giant's approach to its flagship devices, especially the iPhone. Speculation is rife that Cupertino-based Apple will unveil its long-awaited artificial intelligence (AI) strategy and introduce game-changing features with the release of iOS 18.
Recent reports have delved into Apple's published research reports and shed light on the company's vision for the future. The Verge in particular has highlighted Apple's focus on improving Siri, the virtual assistant that is an integral part of the iPhone experience. Apple's research reports suggest a concerted effort to develop a more efficient and intelligent Siri, potentially revolutionizing user interaction with the iPhone.
A notable focus in Apple's research papers is on small language models (SLMs) that are designed to work independently within devices. One such model, ReALM (Reference Resolution As Language Model), is touted for its ability to perform tasks prompted by contextual language input. Analysts speculate that ReALM could play a crucial role in improving Siri's capabilities.
Additionally, Apple's research introduces a multi-modal AI model called 'Ferret-UI' aimed at performing precise tasks related to user interface screens while interpreting and acting on open language instructions. This innovation points to a future where verbal commands can seamlessly replace traditional finger gestures for iPhone navigation.
Among other notable improvements, Apple's research introduces Keyframer, a tool reportedly capable of generating animations from static images, and an AI model for image editing. These innovations could significantly improve the functionality of the Photos app, allowing users to perform complex operations with ease.
However, it is essential to note that these speculations are based solely on Apple's published research reports, and there is no guarantee that they will translate into features. The true extent of Apple's AI vision will be revealed during the keynote session at WWDC 2024.
