AppleInsider has shed light on potential AI features coming in iOS 18, aligning with CEO Tim Cook‘s promises. Siri takes center stage, gaining the ability to analyze and summarize text messages. This is reminiscent of prior reports of a similar “Intelligent Search” function for webpages in Safari.

Fueling these intelligent features is Apple’s in-house large language model (LLM) called Ajax. Research papers and AppleInsider’s report suggest a focus on on-device AI processing for iPhones. However, for complex requests, Ajax might rely on cloud servers, potentially involving partnerships with Google or OpenAI.
Privacy remains a priority. AppleInsider reports that users will be notified before Ajax utilizes data from Messages or Safari. Cook, during an earnings call, emphasized Apple’s enthusiasm for AI, hinting at “exciting things” while underlining privacy as a key advantage.
While new iPads might be unveiled at Apple’s upcoming event next Tuesday, we’ll likely have to wait until the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 10th for a comprehensive look at Apple’s AI roadmap.
