When will AI start being incorporated into iOS?

Apple already has AI built into phones. The fact that it doesn't tell you what you're doing wrong when you use your phone doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Apple also announced "Apple Intelligence" in June. It will, when it is released, be available on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later. I don't know that it will work in the way that you want, though.

"AI" is not one thing. And it's not something that does everything. Continue to ask questions and submit feedback.

Machine learning is already in wide use in Apple devices.

For large language models, that occasionally-useful source of non-sequiturs and of correctness randomly mixed with errors is yet to officially arrive from Apple, past Siri and such.

The way a large language model is supposed to work is by picking up training data from the corpora provided by the model maintainers, and the model then regurgitating that data (possibly incorrectly) based on prompts provided by the model user.

Machine learning can be handy for constrained tasks.

Results provided by language model text generation can be more mixed.

If you want a support article discussing the proximity sensor added (as that article does not seem to exist), then log some feedback with Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/

That hypothetical new proximity sensor support article would subsequently then be part of an Apple support corpus.

Use the Tips app and it also allow you to set Notification for new features.

It does tell you when your storage is full and gives you suggestions of freeing up storage space.

suggest to... make an appt. at the Apple Bar

Anytime your phone is not operating like you think it should, you should make an appointment with Apple. This would be true whether there is actually anything wrong with the phone or not. Of course there are cases where the phone will tell you to get it serviced with a message on your screen, such as when your Battery needs serviced or Face ID failed due to a camera failure.

Randy ~ Some AI features will be triggered by the new Camera Control button on iPhone 16:

"Later this year, Camera Control will unlock visual intelligence to help users learn about objects and places faster than ever before. Users can click and hold Camera Control to pull up the hours or ratings for a restaurant they pass, add an event from a flyer to their calendar, quickly identify a dog by breed, and more." Source:

I don't know. I'm not a software engineer let alone one who specializes in AI. However, you can let Apple know what you'd like to see here:

Yes, I agree:

• When CNBC asked ChatGPT for the lyrics to "Ballad of Dwight Fry", ChatGPT supplied invented lyrics rather than the actual lyrics.
• Asked questions about New Brunswick, ChatGPT got many answers right but incorrectly classified Samantha Bee as a "person from New Brunswick".
• Asked about astrophysical magnetic fields, ChatGPT incorrectly volunteered that "(strong) magnetic fields of black holes are generated by the extremely strong gravitational forces in their vicinity"
• Fast Company asked ChatGPT to generate a news article on Tesla's last financial quarter; ChatGPT created a coherent article, but made up the financial numbers contained within.

I just saw the Apple Intelligence and indeed it is only about one thing ... authoring.

Apple is releasing Apple Intelligence in stages. "Visual Intelligence" and improvements in Siri will be among the first features. Later features include things like notifications summaries that give you the most important parts of a message. I'm not really clear what you mean by "authoring".

There was nothing about observing behavior and making suggestions to let do more, faster and easier.

No, it's still not going to tell you when you're using your phone wrong.

Regardless, AI Is not necessarily about "observing behavior and making suggestions." ChatGPT is considered "AI" by many. And it certainly doesn't observe my behavior or make suggestions. As I said, "AI" is not one thing. It's a very general term for a lot of different technologies.

Randy Zeitman wrote:

I mean is it unreasonable to expect the suggestion.

Again, I don't know if it's an unreasonable thing or not. What I can say is that it doesn't appear to be what Apple has on offer.

It's certainly not an engineering to show a reminder.

Everything on an iPhone is engineering. Some of it's hardware engineering, and some of it's software engineering. It has been my observation that people who think adding a feature to a device as complex as an iPhone is easy or simple are people who have never done any coding for such a device. It's a lot harder than most of us would think.

I was asking you ... not asking if you think it's reasonable for Apple.

I already answered that: I don't know if it's a reasonable suggestion. That requires knowledge I don't have. If what you're really asking is do I agree with you, well, honestly, I haven't given it that much thought. Nor do I plan to.

And in the end, it doesn't matter what anyone else in this thread, this forum thinks. None of us can do anything about it. Give feedback to Apple.

I have no idea what the rest of your post is about.

Best of luck.

It may not be able to think but it is entertaining.
