APPLE BEGINS TESTING AI SOFTWARE DESIGNED TO BRING A SMARTER SIRI TO THE IPHONE 16
AppleMagazine
|September 27, 2024
Apple is giving more people the chance to test a software update that will implant artificial intelligence into its virtual assistant Siri and automate a variety of tedious tasks on the latest iPhone coming out.
-
The free update was made available this week to an audience that has signed up to test Apple’s software before it’s released to all iPhone owners next month. Only two premium iPhones that came out last year contain the souped-up processor required to power the AI features included in the update, but that changed last Friday (20) when four new iPhone 16 models reach store shelves.
All the iPhone 16 models, with starting prices ranging from $800 to $1,200, are equipped to handle the new technology, which the company is marketing as “Apple Intelligence.” That branding is part of an effort to distinguish the iPhone’s AI from similar technology already available in smartphones released earlier this year by Samsung and Google.
