Referring to the rules of previous Apple conferences, the spring conference will be held in March and April every year, and a series of new products will be brought at that time. Foreign media also got some gossip, saying that Apple will release **MacBook Air and iPad Air6 soon, which will be equipped with the latest M3 and M2 chips. As for the iPhone SE4, the news says that it will not be available until next year, which is not a good thing for small screen lovers.
In addition to updating the hardware, Apple will also make major version updates for iOS every year, referring to the rhythm of previous years, Apple will hold the WWDC developer conference in June this year, when a series of operating systems will be launched, including iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, macOS 15, etc. Among them, the most concerned is, of course, ios 18, after all, it is a mobile phone operating system, covering the widest range of people, for old fruit fans, whether they can upgrade to the new version of ios is what they are most concerned about.
In terms of models, iOS 18 is expected to support all 5G versions of the iPhone, which means that the new system can be upgraded from iPhone 12 to later models, and it is not necessarily the case with the earlier iPhone 11. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman revealed some news about iOS 18 in the latest episode, and he will usher in a major upgrade this time, introducing 2 new features, which will be the biggest software update in the history of the iPhone.
Specifically, iOS 18 is expected to feature generative AI technology, which will greatly improve Siri's voice interaction capabilities, which can help you write, answer questions, complete sentences, and more. He also said that Apple is also exploring applying generative AI capabilities to other apps on its platform, including Apple Music, Pages, Keynote and Xcode. What's more, with the empowerment of AI, Siri's intelligence level and functional range still have a lot of room for improvement.
Just imagine, when you wake Siri with your voice, you can send some instructions to her and ask her to help you complete some tasks, such as calling, sending messages, setting reminders, checking the weather, etc. And all these features may be implemented in iOS 18, and the iPhone 16 series will be the first to be equipped with a new system. According to the news, iOS 18 has been regarded internally by Apple as one of the most important iOS updates in the company's history, and may not even be one of them.
In addition to adding powerful artificial intelligence, iOS 18 will also bring RCS message support, which is a cross-platform messaging standard, supporting HD**and**, voice messages, typing prompts, etc., so that Apple users can also have the same messaging experience as Android users, and these features can be achieved without the help of third-party application tools, eliminating the information gap between iOS and Android, and I believe this feature will improve the user experience.
In terms of hardware, all iPhone16 series will be equipped with A18 series chips, starting memory up to 8GB, Pro also has more advanced periscope telephoto and solid-state buttons. So, what can you expect from the next iPhone 16? Everyone is welcome to comment and communicate.
