Considering the pace of previous years, Apple should still hold the WWDC24 developer conference in June this year, when a number of next-generation operating systems such as iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, macOS 15 and more will be launched. Among them, the one that has attracted the most attention is naturally iOS 18.
Recently, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman also brought some new news about iOS 18 in the latest issue of Power On. According to him, Apple plans a major upgrade to iOS 18, which is even expected to be the heaviest software update in the history of the iPhone.
At the same time, Mark Gurman also shared 2 new features that iOS 18 may bring. The first of these is the smarter Siri, who says iOS 18 is expected to feature generative AI technology that will dramatically improve Siri's ability to answer questions and autocomplete sentences.
Actually, in the just-released iOS 17In the 4 beta 1 version, Apple optimized Siri and added a Siri wake word, which can wake Siri directly without shouting "Hey". Hopefully, in iOS 18, Siri will get rid of I don't seem to understand !
The second new feature is RSC support, as everyone knows, the iMessage message between iPhone and iPhone is a blue bubble that shows the status of being typed and read, supports sending high-resolution ** and **, and can also send voice messages.
The addition of RCS allows messaging between iPhone and Android devices to support the above functions, and it is also through the network to achieve messaging, without paying the carrier. However, the chat bubble is still green.
For these two new features, RCS is not very useful to us, after all, we are usually WeChat. And the new version of Siri is worth looking forward to, AI blessing should make it smarter, but I don't know if the new version of Siri in China can be a complete body.
Other than that, iOS 17The battery life test results for the 3 are also out. It is still up to the old friend iApplebytes to test the battery life of 5 old models such as iPhone SE 2 and XR through the battery test function of the Geekbench tool.
The results show that the above 5 models have a range of 3h23m, 4h49m, 5h22m, 5h35m, and 6h51m respectively. There have been few changes from the previous version of the system, no noticeable improvements, and no noticeable decreases. Of course, this result can only be used as a reference, after all, the test tool is different from our daily usage habits.
So, how does your iPhone last after updating the system?
