Any technological trend can be spotted from a mile away, but the name that never fails to excite users and critics alike is Apple. This trend has been going on for years: Apple brings out a new feature or entirely new product, and everybody goes berserk with excitement – and we all wait for the next one. Here’s what Apple Headquarters is coming up with this year, after WWDC 2024. Let’s take a look at what due is going on in the future, courtesy of Apple and its carefully designed intelligent features.
The curtain was coming down on WWDC 2024. All the major updates were out, culminating with the wild thunderclap that was Apple Intelligence. But here was the twist: the company made it clear that this was not, in fact, ‘coming soon’. Here was an update that would not be rolled out in one fell swoop, or even in stages. The company said it would take a nanosecond and think about this. It will begin rolling out the technology – in piecemeal fashion – over the next year and a half, with a full release only in 2025.
Apple’s gradual rollout is driven by a delicacy of touch, a careful approach, not by tardiness The least satisfying interpretation of what Apple might be doing is that, when it comes to machine learning and natural language processing, Apple is lagging. The most satisfying explanation comes from an article in Bloomberg on 29 September, where Mark Gurman – perhaps the best tech writer around for credibly reporting Apple insights – first outlined the ‘gradual rollout’ that Apple seems to be pursuing on this front. The Apple gradual rollout is not about denying. It’s not the story of a corporate juggernaut that’s broad-shouldered, maybe, but flat-footed. It’s not a tale of tardiness. Rather, Apple’s gradual rollout is driven by a delicacy of touch, by a careful approach. And if the Chinese or French versions of a technology like Apple Intelligence come late, it’s because Apple will only go into the world with a technology when it’s certain the machine will be able to speak to as many of us as possible, not just Americans who speak English.
Even though the final suite of features in the Apple Intelligence overlord system won’t be ready until 2025, Apple fans certainly have some treats in store between now and then. This year, sometime in the fall, Apple says there will be a ‘preview’ version of this wonderful technology. Despite being billed as a ‘preview’, the first iteration is still very likely to include many features of note. Lacking in the feature presentation will be such elements as a customisable augmented-reality display that can be projected onto any surface. Such quibbles aside, what will be included is a radically improved interface for Siri (the firm’s digital assistant) plus ‘Type to Siri’, an option that will allow users to speak or type to Siri.
Courtesy Apple.It’s time for Apple’s digital assistant to get a makeover. The next version of iOS, Apple’s mobile operating system, will feature a UI designed to make interactions with Siri (Apple’s digital assistant) more intuitive and efficient than ever before. As well as looking better, the UI will also serve as an interface that users can speak or mime their way through.
Alongside Siri’s makeover, then, Apple Intelligence is likely to deeply improve the assistant’s capacity to hear you more accurately, even in the presence of speech errors. This is potentially a huge leap forward: a signal of Apple’s continued investment in technology that enables users to interact with its devices in more inclusive ways.
But as we head towards the release of Apple Intelligence, the outline that Apple has painted for their company shows something both very definite and cautiously hopeful. Apple has long been a standard-setting leader in the digital tech space, and Apple Intelligence sounds like a service designed to set the standard for artificial intelligence in personal technology.
This function of Apple Intelligence will ostensibly align more perfectly with the general Apple ecosystem of products and services, creating yet another layer where your devices communicate with you more, but more importantly now communicate with each other as well in the orchestra of ambient intelligence. ‘Your life just got a little easier.’
For Apple aficionados – and all technology’s techie disciples – the phased rollout of Apple Intelligence raises the question not of when but whether we’ll wait. You might find yourself leaning toward the ‘expedient’ side of the equation, but the painstakingly slow pace of Apple’s evolution indicates that by ‘expedient’ we mean both expeditious and expedient. Apple’s evolutionary slowness is about quality, not haste, and when the Apple Intelligence evolution finally ends, it should be big enough (and better) to truly matter.
By 2025 they’ll be setting the stage for Apple Intelligence, the world that Apple users are waiting upon with bated breath.
