Tudo anunciado na WWDC 2024: Apple Intelligence e uma Siri mais inteligente

Na WWDC 2024, a Apple lançou uma série de atualizações de software para colocar a IA, ou “Apple Intelligence”, na frente e no centro de seus iPhones , iPads e Macs.
Depois que a Samsung e o Google implementaram a IA nos telefones, agora é a vez da Apple tentar inverter o roteiro para tornar os smartphones, tablets e laptops “mais inteligentes”, introduzindo uma IA própria.

Se você acordou esta manhã esperando por algum grande anúncio de hardware, ou mesmo uma dica ou teaser para um novo telefone ou design de Mac, é melhor retornar à sua caverna confortável e hibernar até a próxima grande vitrine da Apple. Em relação ao software, o Apple Intelligence estará disponível na maioria dos aplicativos de usuário final com resumos automáticos e edição de fotos aprimorada por IA. O ChatGPT está chegando aos iPhones mais recentes, já que a gigante da tecnologia de Cupertino, Califórnia, está preparada para tornar o chatbot acessível em qualquer lugar do telefone, sem a necessidade do aplicativo.

Se você não tem interesse em IA, há algumas novas atualizações para você se entusiasmar. iOS 18 e iPadOS 18 estão chegando, prometendo alguns recursos há muito esperados. Uma delas é a atualização da tela de bloqueio do iPhone, que permite aos usuários colocar seus widgets e ícones onde quiserem. Outra é a atualização do Messenger que finalmente permitirá o uso do protocolo RCS. Diga adeus àquelas bolhas verdes para sempre.

Enquanto isso, iPads e Macs estão recebendo alguns recursos novos e inesperados, como um aplicativo Calculadora completo que suporta rabiscos e espelhamento de iPhone no macOS Sequoia. Muitas dessas atualizações estão previstas para o outono deste ano, embora os betas devam começar a ser lançados nos próximos meses.

O que há com a ‘Inteligência da Apple’

Apple Intelligence é o grande produto de IA da Apple para todo o seu ecossistema

O primeiro da lista é “Apple Intelligence”. A IA da empresa de Cupertino é exatamente o que diz na lata: um ecossistema completo para navegar na vida dos usuários. Há muita coisa acontecendo, mas – eventualmente – o software deve ser capaz de incluir recursos de visão de IA multimodal e funcionar em todos os aplicativos do seu iPhone, iPad e Mac. O único problema é que ainda não sabemos exatamente quando algum ou parte desses recursos deverá estar disponível.

Apple Intelligence pode reescrever ou revisar texto

A Apple promete que as novas ferramentas de escrita de IA podem resumir seu texto e adicionar um “TLDR” fácil ao topo dos e-mails. Assim como o Gemini do Google, o recurso de reescrita pode incluir diferentes estilos de texto para torná-lo mais “amigável” ou “conciso”. Você também tem a opção de adicionar tabelas, listas ou resumos ao texto. Isso deve funcionar em praticamente todos os aplicativos da Apple e em alguns aplicativos de terceiros.

Os e-mails da Apple resumirão pontos importantes antes de você abri-los

O recurso Prioridade no aplicativo Mail mostrará seus e-mails ou mensagens mais importantes para quando você receber muitos deles ao mesmo tempo. Essas notificações condensadas mostrarão isso diretamente na tela de bloqueio do seu iPhone. Isso funciona com um novo Focus que reduz o número de notificações e mostra apenas as mais importantes.

A Apple permitirá que você crie imagens de IA, incluindo ‘Genmojis’

É claro que a Apple não desistiria do jogo de geração de imagens de IA. O novo Image Playground está integrado em Pages, Mensagens, Freeform e vários outros aplicativos.

Você tem três estilos em oferta: animação, ilustração ou esboço, mas tem a barra de prompt regular para criar as imagens (um tanto perturbadoras) que desejar. Existem também novos emojis gerados por IA chamados ‘Genmoji’, que sairão como um adesivo ou Tapback. Você também pode criar um de seus amigos se confiar nele o suficiente. A Apple promete que todas as suas imagens são geradas no dispositivo.

Há também uma nova ferramenta semelhante ao Magic Eraser em Fotos para remover elementos indesejados de uma imagem antes de preencher os pixels ausentes.

A inteligência da Apple pode extrair seus arquivos e fotos

Há muitas grandes promessas surgindo graças à IA. A Apple afirma que seu novo sistema de IA eventualmente permitirá que a IA execute ações bastante complexas, como extrair fotos e arquivos de qualquer um de seus aplicativos. Ele deve ser capaz de trabalhar entre aplicativos para saber quando são suas reuniões e quais são seus planos para aquele dia quando você solicitar o envio de uma mensagem que o ajude a trabalhar em sua programação.

Apple promete que sua IA não salvará seus dados

Parte da IA ​​em execução nos dispositivos da Apple está no dispositivo, mas deve ser executada por meio da computação em nuvem privada. A Apple promete manter sua privacidade determinando se uma solicitação precisa de alguma IA fora do dispositivo. Então, enviará apenas partes da solicitação para a nuvem. A Apple promete que agências externas poderão examinar os servidores da Apple para verificar as grandes reivindicações de privacidade.

Siri tem um novo visual e muito mais recursos

Poor, beleaguered Siri is finally receiving those long-rumored AI upgrades, but we may need to wait a long time to see them in action. The Siri updates will allow the assistant to interact with iPhone and iPad apps far more than it currently can.

For one, Siri now has a new logo and look, making the borders of the screen wavy whenever the assistant gets called up. Siri will maintain conversational context and will be able to work off your previous requests. Now you can type to chat to Siri as well. Double tapping on the bottom of the screen allows you to communicate with Siri directly.

Siri can also take actions happening on-screen. It can also take actions across apps, like adding a photo from the Photos app to the Notes app. Eventually, the idea is that Siri can take specific actions in more apps over time.

The digital assistant should also become more engrained with users’ “Personal Context.” Siri should know your emails, plans, calendar events, and texts to find all the necessary information.

Siri Will Be Your Best How-To Machine for Apple Products

Siri should be able to send you a how-to guide for anything related to your Apple products. This comes baked into Siri and will work with all the most commonly asked questions about Apple products.

Siri Can Use ChatGPT ‘Seamlessly’

While we don’t have a good idea when Siri will receive its most important updates, we know that the current stopgap will be ChatGPT integration directly on users’ devices. The app will be accessible straight from Siri and the new compose feature. You can use the chatbot to generate DALL-E images as well. Apple promises this integration will be powered by GPT-4o for free without paying for an account.

Apple promises your activities won’t be logged, and you can access the ChatGPT paid features if you link your account. ChatGPT integration will be coming to all the Apple ecosystem’s new updates later this year.

iOS 18 is Promising some Long-Awaited Customization Features

iOS Now Supports RCS

As a last-minute note to end its talk about iOS 18, Apple confirmed that the next version of iOS will support RCS protocol.

iOS 18 Lets You Finally Rearrange Your Home Screen Apps

iOS 18 will be a big one for folks who have long demanded Android-like customizability on the iPhone.

Apple goes further by allowing users to set the tint and tone of the app’s icons themselves.

You Can Soon “Lock” Any App in iOS 18

The next iPhone update will allow users to lock and hide apps so anyone using your phone won’t have immediate access without biometric scanning or a PIN.

Messenger Includes Full Emoji Tapbacks

Are you annoyed you can’t do full emoji reactions to texts like you can on Android? The iOS Talkback feature is receiving full emoji support, so you can respond to your friend’s queries with as many poop emojis as their messages require.

Messenger Text Effects Will Let You Emphasize Certain Words

The Messenger app in iOS 18 is expanding the ability to emphasize words. Now, instead of just emphasizing the names of people or other words, users can use Text Effects to make certain words blow up or jiggle. The app will automatically suggest specific effects for certain words. There are new effects, and you can add them to any text you want.

Messages are also gaining the ability to use text formatting, allowing you to underline, bold, or italicize words or phrases.

Game Mode on iPhone

Mac’s Game Mode is getting a version on iPhone. The mode should automatically kick in while in a game. This minimizes background tasks to put as much processing power into the game. It should improve latency with controllers or AirPods.

Messages Via Satellite

If you find yourself without cellphone service, Apple will let you use your iPhone to text friends and family when off the grid on Messages. You can still send emojis and Tapbacks, and Apple claims its E2E encrypted. This will only be available with the iPhone 14 or later, which comes with satellite support.

Apple Maps Now Allows You to Get Hiking Trail Info

Apple Maps now has access to topographic trail maps, allowing hiking loops on your phone. This will show the overall length and elevation gain of the trail or loop and the various entry points on the app.

Tap to Cash Allows You to Pay Your Friends With Your Phone

Those iPhone users keen on Apple Cash will soon be able to send money to each other using the same action you can use to send folks your contact information. Hovering both phones with the active cash app will send and receive money from your wallet. Additionally, event tickets are being redesigned to show you details about the venue and other essential information.

Photos App is Gonna Look a Hell of a Lot Different

The Photos app now has a new design that shows all your photos in a single grid. You can find different photos based on months or years and filter your photos to eschew screenshots.

The new Collections will let you section different photos into topics like People & Pets or Recent Days. This will let you see your photos in a collage. In selections like Trips, you can find your vacations or travels by date. You can also pin different collections.

The Favorites carousel now shows you a slideshow of photos from various favorite collections.

iPadOS 18 Promises Some New and Unique Features for Apple’s Tablets

Calculator on iPad (‘Yay’)

Finally, the iPad is getting a calculator app, but it’s far more interesting than that. It may look like It also works with Apple Pencil. Math Notes comes up from the calculator button, and if you write out an equal sign, it solves it for you, updating it live depending on your different functions. It also works with lists that let you tabulate numbers rather quickly. Notes also have the same math capabilities as Calculator.

Notes’ Smart Script Will Fix Your Chicken Scratch as You Write

The AI will make your writing more legible as you go. The on-board AI should be able to take your loose handwriting and make it a bit more legible while keeping your writing “style.” You can paste it directly into the Notes app, which should mimic your handwriting style.

O InSight no Apple tvOS oferecerá alguns detalhes sobre o que você está assistindo

O novo recurso InSight da Apple no Apple TV + é essencialmente o X-Ray da Amazon. Ele permite que você obtenha um rápido resumo do conteúdo que está assistindo, além de informações sobre os atores na tela e talvez algumas curiosidades sobre a cena em andamento.
