Mark Gurman has revealed Two key moments in the short and medium-term future of Apple Intelligence: iOS 18.6 and iOS 19What are Apple's plans for its Artificial Intelligence? We'll tell you below.
The first major step for Apple Intelligence will come with iOS 18.6, although it will have very little impact on us, at least not directly. Apple Intelligence will arrive in China with this iOS update, and it will do so with the help of Alibaba and Baidu as partners.Just as Apple has done with ChatGPT in the rest of the world, Artificial Intelligence will arrive in the Asian country thanks to these two companies. Many of you may not be familiar with these companies, but they are two technology giants. Alibaba is the parent company of AliExpress, the famous Chinese online store where we all shop. Baidu is known as "the Chinese Google" because it is the main internet search engine in that country. Remember that censorship exists in China and the government controls absolutely everything, so search engines like Google are not allowed.
To see any progress in Europe (and the rest of the world) we will have to wait for iOS 19, which Apple will show us next June and which will be released to all users in September along with the launch of the next iPhone. Mark Gurman has not detailed exactly what will be coming to Apple Intelligence in that update, but he has mentioned the more than likely arrival of Gemini, Google's Artificial Intelligence, to Apple Intelligence, so Users will have the option to choose between ChatGPT or Gemini on their iPhones. to use features like Writing Tools or Siri, whose searches have improved considerably since the arrival of ChatGPT. These options must be activated by users if they wish to use them.
