Apple iOS 18 features: early leak unveils

A significant leak of Apple iOS 18 revealed Siri's new capabilities ahead of the start of WWDC.

Apple insiders have provided exclusive details about Siri's upcoming features, which are expected to be unveiled at WWDC this week. The source offers valuable insights into the impact of Apple's AI push on our lives, devices, and apps.

Apple's insider has obtained exclusive details regarding the leak, including information about the features and the prompts that Apple has been utilising for testing purposes. Siri's enhanced capabilities extend beyond mere comprehension.

Exciting updates are coming for Apple's core apps, such as Books, Calendar, Camera, Contacts, Files, Freeform, Keynote, Mail, News, Notes, Reminders, Safari, and more.

What can we expect from Siri's latest AI features?

In the Books feature, you can easily browse through different books, access specific or recently opened books, customise the on-screen theme, or search for books of particular types or genres in the Book Store.

With Siri in the Camera app, you can easily access different modes, such as portrait or slow-mo, set timers, control video recording, and switch between front—and rear-facing cameras.

Keynote allows users to easily create presentations with a chosen theme, incorporate videos from Safari, add content such as images to specific slides, and have complete control over their presentations.

Additionally, Safari will be equipped with a new feature that provides concise summaries of web page content, allowing for quicker comprehension.

One app that has caught the attention is Mail, which has been overlooked recently. With the latest update, Mail has introduced a powerful feature that allows for the analysis and categorisation of emails.

You can quickly sort your emails into news, promotions, socials, transactions, and more categories.

Mail enables you to utilise Siri to respond to individuals or multiple recipients within an email conversation. Instruct Siri to reply to everyone in the email with a specific message, such as "ok, I'll see you there."

In addition to its existing features, Siri can block unwanted senders, prioritise messages for later reading, provide concise summaries of messages and conversations, compose emails, and even generate AI-powered "smart replies."

New features will enhance Siri's capabilities in managing notes, including enhanced control over creating, naming, and deleting notes and tags.

Additionally, users can look forward to in-app audio recording, transcription, and automatic summarisation. You can easily store those in the note for convenient organisation.

Additionally, the new calculator will seamlessly integrate with the system, allowing users to include complex equations and graphs in their notes.

Apple will showcase significant apps, primarily Photos, which enables teams to access pictures of particular individuals or animals, establish new collections and recollections, modify or apply, and organise them, including tasks like renaming collections or removing or concealing pictures.

Apple is set to unveil these new features this week, and although the element of surprise may be gone, it will still be intriguing to witness the functionality.

Certain features will be available exclusively on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, anticipating their arrival on devices shortly.
