2024 will be another year of artificial intelligence. Indeed, iOS 18 could contain Apple's most remarkable progress in the AI ​​industry to date. And here we can only mention the things that come to mind. 

Of course, we can start from what iPhones can already do and could improve, or what the competition can do or is planning. By the way, Samsung is planning an event on January 17th where it will introduce the Galaxy S24 series of smartphones, which it already claims will contain "Galaxy AI", a form of Samsung's artificial intelligence. But as we all know, Apple has a different approach to many things than the competition, so even if Samsung's news will certainly be impressive, the American company can really change the way we use smartphones with its vision.

Crab 

It's evident that Siri needs an AI boost more than anything else. In recent years, this Apple voice assistant has not brought us much new and it is clearly losing compared to its competition, especially with respect to Google. It also needs a separate app in which we could have a text conversation with Siri, and which would also contain the history. Just take a look at ChatGPT or Copilot to see what it might look like.

Spotlight (search) 

The universal iOS search box, found on the home screen (Search) or by swiping up from the top of the screen, indexes all kinds of different local information, including photos, documents, messages, and more. Not to mention, it also integrates web search results, making it one of the best tools to find anything online or offline. Here, iOS learns from your actions and suggests relevant actions accordingly. But it is still too limited because these proposals do not take many other factors into account.

Photos and advanced editing 

Most of the Google Pixel's AI functions are used for photo and video editing. The work looks simple and the results eye-catching. The Photos app in iOS offers many options, but there are still too few of them. Automatic editing is fine, so is Portrait editing, but it lacks, for example, retouching or any cloning tool. It would also require adaptive filters that are generated in the device based on the specific photographed object or environment. 

Creative Apple Music 

Apple's music app would certainly benefit from adding a feature like AI DJ, where the system mixes together different tracks and offers a comprehensive set based on the mood or genre you choose. Yes, we are of course using the Spotify function here, which has it and works very well in it. Apple should respond if only to maintain proper competition. Any recommendation that still illogically puts behind what you probably want to listen to and displays what you definitely don't want to listen to could be improved.

iWork applications (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) 

Google apps can do it, Microsoft apps can do it, and Apple apps need to do it too. Correcting basic errors and typos is no longer enough. Artificial intelligence will provide a more advanced error detector, suggestions, auto-completion, edit tracking, determining the tone of the text (passive, positive, aggressive) and much more. Apart from iWork applications, it would be nice if similar functions appeared in Mail or Notes.
