What Siri AI offers for iPhone users
Siri is now more personal than ever. The AI assistant has been built to not only give you clear answers but contextually accurate as well. Siri is now allowed to search for messages, emails and even photos to give you responses based on what’s available on your device. This is said to be fully secure as Apple runs them on-device and does not process it through an external server.
Siri is also more proactive with responses from what’s open on the screen. These have been available with ChatGPT and Gemini for a while now, but Apple offering through Siri brings a different use case for the iPhone users who don’t need another app just for these features.
Let’s say you have the Messages app open on the screen, and you want Siri to help you with reminders or calendar updates. You simply ask Siri to read what’s on the screen and may open Maps for further details.
Visual smartness is another big change coming to Siri AI and it is called the Siri mode. You open the camera app, point it towards a document, a board and ask Siri to capture the details and even save it as contact on the device. This is a lot like Google Lens that we have been using on Android through Chrome and the standalone app.
Better Siri AI performance is expected if you have the iPhone 17 Pro and later models. You get voice chats processed on-device thanks to the A19/20 Pro chip along with the neural chip that handles the AI tasks for better security.
The iPhone 18 Pro series goes on sale from September 18 across markets later this week and there will be plenty more to discuss and highlight once the reviews come out.
