iOS 18's AI Features Officially Announced: Upcoming Launch Date Revealed for Next Month

In the early hours of today, Apple officially launched the iOS 18 update for iPhone users worldwide. The much-anticipated Apple Smart AI feature is set to be gradually introduced within iOS 18 next month. However, it's unfortunate that users of the Chinese version of the iPhone will not have access to this innovative feature initially.

Apple Smart made its debut at the WWDC 2024 developer conference as a highlight of the iOS 18 and iPhone 16 series. This feature is powered by advanced generative AI models designed to provide users with an unparalleled smart experience. For instance, users can quickly obtain concise summaries of lectures or lengthy documents within seconds, significantly enhancing information retrieval efficiency.

Additionally, Apple Smart includes a smart writing tool that automatically proofreads text, optimizing tone and wording. This functionality is not limited to Apple’s own applications; it also supports a wide range of third-party apps, greatly benefitting users.

Another noteworthy development is the comprehensive upgrade to Siri. Enhanced by advanced AI technologies like ChatGPT, Siri can now better understand complex commands and provide more intelligent, personalized responses, marking a substantial improvement.

Currently, the Apple Smart features are only available in American English. Support for English dialects from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK is expected to roll out in December. However, Chinese users will need to wait a bit longer. Apple has announced that versions in Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish will be officially launched next year, at which point users of the Chinese iPhone will finally be able to experience this powerful AI capability.

While it's disappointing that Chinese iPhone users cannot yet enjoy the benefits of Apple Smart AI, the company remains committed to delivering the latest technological advancements to users worldwide. With ongoing technological evolution, it is believed that Chinese iPhone users will soon embrace the limitless possibilities brought by this cutting-edge technology.
