The IOT & AI Revolution with iOS 10, The watchOS 3 and Siri
A large scale revolution has quietly begun with Apple trying to fast forward the present to the future. The possibilities that have emerged in IOT and AI with the introduction of the iOS 10 and the watchOS 3 cannot be neglected. Apple has a way of introducing pathbreaking technology that on the surface seems unfeasible but on probing and understanding inspires awe . The latest being Apple’s attempt to turn ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence) applications on its watch and iPhones into multiple utility applications by introducing multiple functionalities and interconnectivity across devices and accessories.
While it may be too soon to say that Apple has brought the AGI(Artificial General Intelligence) apps into vogue, the interwoven libraries and multiple functions of various X-code development kits and the most powerful Siri we have experienced is the advent of the not so far reality.
Wait, are we already using AI ?
Yes, dear Apple users, if you haven’t realized it , your personal assistant Siri is a wonderful example of an ANI application. It talks to you, it works on search algorithms, it gives you the desired search results and soon, it might even start telling you that you have forgotten your keys on the desk. Reminds you of a certain movie on an AI companion ?
But that’s just one of the few things Super Siri will be able to do. Powered with the new iOS 10, the watch OS 3, Siri will be all pervasive and Apple, all powerful.
Great, How is this going to happen?
Noticed how there is a 256 GB option in iPhone 7 and 7 plus? Scaling up memory in their devices could be the first step to introducing more complicated AI apps (Apps more intelligent than the current ANI apps will need more memory to operate). While people are wondering if Apple has given them all this storage space just because it can , we are wondering what all can Apple and AI do with this space! Let’s look at all the IOT changes that the iOS 10 and the watchOS 3 has brought in.
The iOS 10 Homekit:
In iOS 10, iPad can be configured to provide remote access to accessories, run automation triggers, and enable shared user permissions. In addition, the HomeKit framework (HomeKit.framework) adds support for camera and doorbell accessories and introduces many new APIs that help you.
