The biggest highlight at this year’s WWDC by Apple has to be the company’s host of AI updates and its breakthrough partnership with OpenAI on this front.
The iPhone maker has decided to launch AI into its iOS 18 and in case you’re wondering, the company is very well aware of the consequences on this front.
Apple CEO Tim Cook just confirmed during his latest interview how there is a huge chance that more AI could mean less usage of Apple devices, especially the iPhone. He admitted that intelligence is getting smarter and that means tasks that once used to occupy a lot of time from the user’s end would now be done quicker. So in the end, the user would be spending less time on their devices.
The head of the Cupertino firm announced how AI integration into all of the company’s systems would be an exciting feature for all where the masses can benefit. Amongst those include its ever-so-popular voice assistant called Siri who can now comprehend better what the user says and therefore deliver more promising results.
This also means enhanced text capabilities, a host of unique Writing Tools, and a photo application that’s revamped to give rise to a neater arrangement and organization done in different categories.
Apple mentioned how this latest collaboration with OpenAI is going to enable users to opt into Siri powered by ChatGPT. The latter is one of the world’s most popular tools that assists in making users more productive and ensuring tasks get done more simply.
Tim Cook explained how Apple is never motivated to have users spend all of their time on its device. And this is not a new comment coming from the tech billionaire. He has always advocated for a focus on quality time done via greater human interactions and less technology-based conversations. And if you ask us, it’s refreshing that such a thought process exists from a man who owns Apple.
Cook further explained in his interview how Apple’s business models are not solely built on the idea that it requires engagement for success. Instead, their goal is to further empower people to do things that couldn’t be done otherwise.
For a while now, Apple has included many features on the iPhone to better raise awareness of the time spent by consumers on tech devices so that usage is less forced and more intentional toward a certain purpose.
Common examples include tracking of user Screen Time which serves as constant alerts or pop-up reminders that you might be going overboard and how dangerous that can be to your health.
Tim Cook himself explained during his last interview how he keeps track of his own screen time in a very obedient manner. Other features worth mentioning include Force settings where user devices get silenced or a means to only attain particular alerts if they’re important.
While some of these alerts might not be loved due to how ‘in your face’ they can be when you’re working or carrying out a specific task, Apple feels it has really made a great difference from users’ standpoint.
Cook concluded by serving a reminder to all how Apple is home to making users’ lives better without compromising their health and wellbeing. This is why they hope to serve greater tools and features that make people forget about their devices for a while and focus on things that are more meaningful in this world like face-to-face interactions.
