News & Reviews:   siri

Siri, powered by Apple's artificial intelligence (AI), was supposed to launch alongside iOS 18.4 after it was revealed about a year ago. But various issues with the quality of information provided, the ability to make inferences, and delayed development caused Apple to permanently delay its launch date. That said, what should you know about it?

"Hey, Siri" is a phrase you may have said often, without realising that your Apple device was secretly recording everything you say. Probably. Or at least that's what the California federal court has determined.

The new Siri, powered by Apple Intelligence, may be released to consumers earlier than expected. This is a pleasant surprise for iOS fans. So, what should you know about it?

Siri is the first virtual assistant that provides smartphone control features using voice. When it was launched 12 years ago, it was an innovative product that caused Google Assistant and Samsung Bixby to be developed as competitors. But now it must be admitted that Siri's ability is behind Google Assistant, Bixby and Alexa. That said, what should you know about it?

Recently, Apple released multiple features in its public beta version of iOS 17, iPadOS17 and macOS Sonoma. In this new update, you will have a bilingual Siri for your convenience.

Apple will be making the activation keyword for Siri simpler. According to the latest report, the tech giant is removing the "Hey" from the "Hey Siri" voice command. If nothing went wrong, the switch would arrive in next year's major OS update.

We believe that some of you might have thought about your smartphones' voice assistants eavesdropping on your conversations. Not sure if it's a "coincidence", but sometimes we could get targeted advertisements about things we've mentioned to someone before. Now, it appears that Apple is facing a lawsuit that alleges its voice assistant, Siri, has improperly recorded private conversations.

Based on a report done by Bloomberg.com, it seems that Apple could be working on a new Apple TV that comes with an integrated camera and speaker system. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the global market.

Voice assistants have been around for years, but most people don't really use them that often. Of course, that hasn't stopped Apple from wanting to improve Siri. In fact, the company has filed a new patent for environmentally aware voice assistants.

Wow, Apple has sure been working on a lot of new techs lately. It's only the start of 2021, but we've already seen one patent for MacBooks and another two for iPhones. But that doesn't seem to be the end, as sources have now found another patent to detect voices.
