Apple IOS 18: Presents Big Updates With New AI And Genmoji Features

JAKARTA - Apple has announced a major iOS 18 update at this week's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) annual conference, which will launch in the fall of this year. This latest update promises a number of confusing new features.

One of the main features of iOS 18 is the integration of 'Apple Intelligence', a new series of company AI tools that will affect almost all aspects of the operating system. Siri, Apple's digital assistant, will undergo a major transformation with more advanced AI capabilities, enabling users to interact more naturally and even type direct requests to Siri.

Apple explains that with the power of Apple Intelligence, Siri will become more natural, contextually relevant, and personal. Users no longer need to worry about having to start their request from scratch if there is a balance in speech.

They can more freely talk and even type their request directly to Siri. Siri will also have'screen awareness' that allows it to access information on the user's phone and act in the app on behalf of the user.

Apart from Siri, iOS 18 also introduced 'Genmoji', a highly anticipated feature that allows users to create custom emojis using AI. Users only need to type short text, and their devices will generate new emojis that match their demands. This feature allows users to express themselves more freely using custom-generated emojis.

This update also gives users a larger control iPhone over their main screen layout. Apple eventually removes grids of apps that have been in use for nearly 20 years, allowing users to place app icons wherever they want.

Users can also adjust the size and color of the icon according to their preferences. In addition, the Control Center is also experiencing major improvements with the addition of the Tap to Cash feature, which allows users to send peer-to-peer money via Apple Wallet only by bringing two phones closer.

Another feature introduced is improvements in Photo apps, where users will find better searches and automatically generated categories to manage their photo libraries more efficiently. Users can also edit their text and photos using new AI features such as Rewriting and Proofread, which help them fine-tune their writing or make the necessary changes to the text.

In an effort to expand AI capabilities in Apple products, the company also announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into their devices. This allows users to leverage the power of the ChatGPT-4o model to gain information or perform more complex tasks through Siri.

Craig Federighi, senior vice president of Apple's software engineering, said that iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence mark the company's big step in bringing a smarter and personal user experience.

This update not only focuses on AI, but also gives users more options to customize their devices according to personal preferences. Enhanced control over the main screen layout and Control Center allow users to create settings that suit their lifestyle.

iOS 18 is expected to bring the iPhone user experience to a higher level with a combination of AI innovations and functional improvements that allow device usage to be more intuitive and efficient. This update will be globally available in the fall, making the iPhone a major choice for those looking for advanced technology in smartphones.
