While the next major update of the iOS 18 cycle in the United States will include the first Apple Intelligence features, we already know that the following update will integrate an improved Siri with ChatGPT. Of course France will also have the right, but next year. MacRumors recovered some information last night on the arrival of ChatGPT to boost Siri, the Americans are in for a treat!
Text and images that will be generated
Rumors around the next iOS 18.2 update are becoming clearer and a revolutionary new feature is about to transform Siri. According to recent information, Apple’s voice assistant will soon be able to generate images, in addition to text, thanks to its integration with ChatGPT.
MacRumors has revealed that it has found clues in Apple’s backend code that suggest Siri will be able to generate images when paired with ChatGPT. If we already knew that Siri would be able to produce enhanced text responses with the help of OpenAI’s AI, the arrival of image generation comes as a surprise. Users will be able to ask Siri to create realistic visuals using ChatGPT’s GPT-4o model.
ChatGPT: the key to enriching Siri
The integration of ChatGPT into Siri is a strategic addition to face competition from voice assistants, ChatGPT will soon be able to handle complex queries (that Siri alone could not previously resolve) and provide precise answers. Regarding image generation, this should be particularly appreciated for needs such as creating visuals for social networks or illustrating ideas for projects, everything can be done from the iPhone with Siri without having to Need to download a third party app.
As has been announced, the integration of ChatGPT into Siri will be free, without the need to create an account. In addition, neither Apple nor OpenAI will store user requests, which will guarantee use that is completely respectful of privacy. However, those who have an OpenAI account or subscribe to ChatGPT Plus will be able to associate it with their Apple devices via the settings to benefit from an even more complete experience.
The iOS 18.2 update, accompanied by the first beta versions of iPadOS 18.2 and macOS Sequoia 15.2, will be available shortly after the release of iOS 18.1, expected at the end of the month. France, for its part, should receive these features during 2025 (we hope in the first quarter), with priority given to deployment in the United States initially.
