🧠 What can new Siri be useful for?


🗺 Siri has finally become useful! It's powered by ChatGPT-4o and remembers the context of the conversation. In addition, she recognizes what is happening on the screen, so it will be able to perform almost any action you request. Additionally, users can type to Siri, and switch between text and voice to communicate as they wish. Siri also has a brand-new design with an elegant glowing light.

The virtual assistant is powered by Apple Intelligence. As for Apple Intelligence, it can everything that neural networks have learned now:
・Generating images
・Suggesting files
・Generating text
・Remove unnecessary objects from a photo
・Recording a conversation with transcript, but the other user will be notified about it
・Creating smart replies in Mail based on clarifying questions
・Searching photos with clarifying details
・Create Genmoji – custom emoji

That's not all that the AI in iPhone can do. However, some functions were seen before, for example, sorting photos and creating Memories.

🪙 Apple isn’t paying OpenAI to use the chatbot

🤖 The pact with OpenAI is part of a broader push by Apple into AI. The iPhone maker laid out the plans during the Keynote, showing off AI features for the iPhone, iPad and Mac. However, the non-ChatGPT capabilities — branded as Apple Intelligence — were designed by the company in-house.

📰 As sources told Bloomberg, Apple has not started paying OpenAI anything for integration into its own systems, and believes that promoting the ChatGPT product to hundreds of millions of its devices in this way has even much more value. OpenAI has agreed to this option, even providing fresh ChatGPT-4o mechanics for use inside Apple's systems.

➕ But the agreement means that users can sign up for a paid, extended subscription to ChatGPT Plus to increase the speed and capabilities of the chatbot, which will be sold through an in-app purchase system. And from there, Apple itself will get its share in the form of a 30% commission. This way, both companies can make a little bit of money, and the user can continue to use the free version of ChatGPT.
