Last week, the big news revolving around Apple was the announcement of the new Siri being supported by generative AI. 

This new version of Siri will be powered by Apple Intelligence generative AI models. Here are the key features:

1. Natural and Helpful: The new Siri promises to be more natural and helpful. It understands context, so you don’t have to repeat information in subsequent requests.
2. On-Screen Awareness: Siri now knows what you’re currently looking at on your device screen. For example, if you’re filling in a form, Siri can automatically find and extract relevant information like your driving license number.
3. In-App Actions: Siri can take in-app actions. You can ask it to perform tasks within apps, such as editing an image in the Photos app.
4. App Intents: Siri works deeply with first-party and third-party apps. It has deeper knowledge of products and can provide help instructions for specific features.
5. Gradual Rollout: These features will roll out gradually over the next year, and the new Siri design will also be available on iPad and Mac¹²³.

Unfortunately, according to an article in El Pais – https://english.elpais.com/technology/2024-06-14/apples-new-artificial-intelligence-leaves-out-more-than-90-of-current-iphone-users.html – only about 7% of iPhone users will have access to these new features.  

One article states it may take years before these fetures become common: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-06-11/will-apple-intelligence-features-boost-iphone-sales-it-may-take-years?srnd=undefined
