Siri turns 8 years old at the gates of her revolution

Apple’s virtual assistant has turned 8 years old and is about to evolve more than it has ever done

Siri turns 8 and is facing the biggest change in its history

On October 4, Siri turned 8 years old. He Apple’s voice assistant arrived along with the iPhone 4s which was introduced on October 4, 2011. One of the saddest keynotes in Apple history, as Steve Jobs passed away just one day later. At the time, Siri was completely revolutionary, and now we are on the verge of a new revolution.

Apple’s voice assistant was born as a tool from which you can ask for things, a tool that has evolved over the years, perhaps not at the pace that many expected. In 2011 we saw Siri as the futurebut with the passage of time it seems that it has been relegated to the background. Something that Apple wants to reverse with the arrival of Apple Intelligence.

With Apple Intelligence, Siri will take its most important leap

With almost every iOS update, Siri has evolved. Both in design and functions. At first, Siri was a command launcher to perform specific actions, set a countdown, add an event to the calendar, check the weather or call a specific contact.

Little by little, the assistant became more capable, especially with the arrival of iOS 10, which made it possible to open Siri to third-party apps. This allowed you to do things like send a message from WhatsApp. Functions such as “Hey Siri” were also added, so you can use the assistant without having to touch the iPhone.

However, little by little Siri has been left behind in terms of functions compared to other assistants, especially in terms of information, but also in aspects such as following a conversation. But, all this will be solved with the arrival of the new Siri with Apple Intelligence.

The beginning of a new era for Siri. With a richer understanding of language and awareness of your personal context, Siri is more capable and helpful than ever. Apple

We are before the biggest jump that Siri has probably given in her story. Thanks to Apple Intelligence, there are many new features coming to Siri:

  • Siri has an all-new design that’s even more deeply integrated into the system experience, with a sleek, bright light that wraps around the edge of your screen.
  • Ability to switch between text and voice, with a double tap at the bottom of your iPhone or iPad screen, you can text Siri from anywhere on the system when you don’t want to speak out loud.
  • Take advantage of Siri’s extensive product knowledge of your devices’ features and settings. You can ask questions when you’re learning to do something new on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and Siri can give you step-by-step instructions in an instant.
  • Apple Intelligence enhances Siri with screen awareness, so it can understand and act on things on your screen. If a friend texts you their new address, you can say “Add this address to their contact card” and Siri will take care of it.
  • Siri can understand you even if you make mistakes with certain words, as well as maintain context from one request to the next.
  • With OpenAI’s ChatGPT built in, Siri can leverage ChatGPT for certain requests, including questions about photos or documents.

Of course everything is done maintaining user privacy. This is something that Apple excels at over its rivals, something that may have made Siri’s development slower than its competitors.

We are about to see a new era for Siri. A more capable and natural Siri, which understands us better and will offer us better answers. With the arrival of Apple Intelligence, Siri couldn’t have had a better eighth birthday. It will arrive with iOS 18.1, which will be presented at the end of October.
