Apple has given Siri a brand new look with the iOS 18.1 update, but there is still a problem that needs to be solved. The new Siri now appears with an eye-catching edge lighting animation on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 models. This effect causes Siri to respond based on your voice when responding. However, the innovations in appearance are not fully reflected in Siri’s functionality. Siri still doesn’t have the ability to act as an intelligent chat assistant. Here are the details…
Apple made innovations for Siri with the new iOS update: But there is not much progress in terms of intelligence
Of course, there are a few additional functions that come with the new update. Siri can now receive written commands from the keyboard with the “Type to Siri” option. In fact, this feature is quite useful in quiet environments or when it is difficult to talk on the phone.
In addition, with the new iOS update, Siri has become more capable of understanding queries by speaking with a more natural voice synthesis. For example, if your words are confused during a query, Siri can now understand this better. Let’s say you made a sentence like “The weather in Istanbul… sorry, I meant Izmir”, Siri now brings the weather in Izmir.
Siri can also access user guides for Apple’s own products. For example, “How do I turn on screen recording on this device?” If you ask, Siri can help you by providing steps based on Apple’s official documentation.
However, Siri’s overall information capacity is still limited; It cannot act as an artificial intelligence assistant in answering complex questions and gathering various information. Meanwhile, Apple also promised to increase Siri’s knowledge level. Siri is planned to be integrated with ChatGPT with the iOS 18.2 update.
Thanks to this integration, Siri will provide much more comprehensive information by getting support from ChatGPT in cases where it cannot respond. Thus, we will have a better equipped Siri with more general information and world knowledge. In the later months of 2024, Siri will use personal data such as messages, calendar events and e-mail to ask “When is my flight?” or “What was the book Hande recommended?” It is planned to be able to give natural answers to questions such as.
For now, Siri is getting by with a slick design, but it needs a little more time to deliver in-depth information or complex conversational capabilities. According to Apple’s plans, Siri will be much smarter and more capable in the future, but users have to wait a little longer.
