Apple and Google’s Next Big Leap: Artificial intelligence is making our smartphones smarter, more efficient, and personalized. Apple and Google have already been treading noteworthy steps toward bringing A.I. into their latest operating systems, iOS 18 and Android. These updates are going to be change-makers where your smartphone will no longer be a device; it’s your intelligent friend who will help you with your email drafts and will solve the math problems.
Google’s Android Overhaul: Meet Gemini
Not too far behind, Google is making one target its Android operating system with artificial intelligence.
Key Features of Android’s Gemini
- Gemini Nano: This is basically AI-centric privacy backing. It does the tasks directly on your device, which makes it somewhat similar to ChatGPT but intrinsic to your phone and self-run. It will not depend on the servers belonging to Google.
- Scam Detection: The A.I. will listen to the phone calls and track any patterns that sound like a scam; consequently, warning you about it instantly.
- Circle to Search: This one will allow students to circle mathematics or physics problems and receive back step-by-step solutions generated by the A.I.
- Magic Compose: This one can make a person quickly redo a text message in different styles in Google’s Messages app.
- Automatic Summarization: Gemini Nano can turn audio recordings into written summaries that easily replay what was said during meetings or lectures.
#### Advanced Messaging from Android:
- RCS Support: Just like Apple, Google has been a strong proponent of RCS, so in this version, Android users can also expect an improved quality of messages even when they are sent/received to/from iPhone users.
Apple’s iOS 18: The New Era for Siri and iPhones
Apple released iOS 18 with loads of A.I.-driven features to make your iPhones smarter and intuitive.
Key Features of iOS 18:
- New Siri: Siri’s been rebuilt using Apple’s A.I. system, which will make for a more natural, contextual conversation. For example, start with: “What is the weather like in Santa Cruz?” Progress to: “I meant San Francisco,” without having to start over.
- Image Generation: Siri can search in your photo library and even generate images to go in messages. For example, wishing someone a happy birthday might automatically include a personally generated avatar or picture.
- Document Summarization: The AI can summarize web articles or long documents. This can be very useful for getting the gist of it at a quick glance.
- Enhanced Text Manipulation: This can proofread or rewrite text in another tone, such as from the apps Mail and Notes, by using its A.I.
- OpenAI Integration: It will also collaborate with ChatGPT to provide enhanced help, like cooking recipe ideas.
- Availability: Availability will only be on the new iPhone models, including the new iPhone 15 Pro.
Rich Communication Services (RCS): Apple is working on the “green bubble” problem as it finally makes changes to ensure better quality of messages, images, and videos sent between iPhones and Android devices.
Scheduled Messaging: You will be able to schedule a message to be sent later—a feature iPhone users have wanted for ages.
AI Integration: Future of Smartphones
Apple and Google are betting on A.I. to reinvent what’s possible on a smartphone. Cutting-edge features like these are sure to succeed or fail based on user acceptance. From the ability of text messages to be smarter to your phone helping with homework, changes that mark a significant move toward placing A.I. at the core of everyday interactions with technology.
