The first Apple Intelligence features They are now available in the first developer beta of iOS 18.1 released a week ago. Many of the functions presented at WWDC24 are not yet available, but we have been able to see the impact that the integration of these AI functions in iOS can have in recent days. However, some rumors indicated that some Apple Intelligence functions would not arrive until 2025. A few days ago, the Wall Street Journal restored hope by ensuring that, for example, The improvement of Siri with the understanding of personal context that we saw at WWDC24 will arrive before 2025.
Siri and the personal context of Apple Intelligence, will arrive before 2025
The personal context feature is one of the tools available in the bundles which is Apple Intelligence itself. However, in the first beta of iOS 18.1 for developers that function is not available. It is nothing more and nothing less give Siri personal context, feeding on all the information that circulates in the closed circuit that is the iPhone. That is, the messages we send, the emails we receive, the movements we make, etc.
In this way and making Siri smart with our daily lives, the virtual assistant can solve requests as specific as: sending us the flight code of a family member, what is the plan with a specific person on a specific day, which collects us and show images of a trip we took on a certain day with a certain person, etc. Thanks to the personal context, Siri will be able to solve everyday problems with specific requests.
The latest information suggested that this part of Apple Intelligence was not going to arrive until well into 2025. However, the Wall Street Journal posted a few days ago new information that They predict that Siri improvements related to personal context will arrive before the end of 2024, in a post-iOS 18 update that is possibly iOS 18.1 or iOS 18.2:
Before the New Year's Eve ball drops, Siri will integrate with ChatGPT and have the ability to access your personal context. (Example: "What time should I pick up my mom from the airport?")
In addition, Apple would take advantage of the occasion to launch another of the pumps announced at WWDC24 which was the integration with iOS and the rest of the operating systems with OpenAI's AI-based chatbot, ChatGPT.
