- Siri with enhanced capabilities and new voices via an OpenAI partnership. The ability to control individual app features is delayed.
- AI-powered photo editing and cleanup in Photos, transcription and summarization in Notes, and AI-generated replies and emojis in Messages.
- Intelligent Search and AI recaps in Safari are to be expected with more tiny features across Apple’s apps powered by LLMs.
