Leaked the great news of iOS 18 that will make ChatGPT useless
Manzana I would be considering using AI in Spotlight the search engine present in iOS and the rest of its operating systems, to have a more advanced search, as revealed Bloomberg. The company is apparently testing a version of its search system capable of performing more complex tasks and linking to specific applications that could debut in iOS 18.
Spotlight, remember, is available on iOS, iPadOS, macOS. It allows you to perform some advanced functions, such as the ability to find files by typing, for example a word written in a document, perform calculations, search for applications in the App Store and more. But, including its own language model – and, presumably, similar to ChatGPT – Spotlight in iOS 18 could include more advanced features. Among them, the possibility of asking complex questions and receiving a direct answer.
In fact, and as indicated by the aforementioned media, the “renewed version of Spotlight” that Apple is testing and “considering” including in iOS 18 and the rest of the upcoming versions of its operating system, would be able to answer questions “more complex” than those that can currently be done. Also, I would have “the ability to drill down into applications to launch specific functions” details the report.
Early Spotlight review designs include the use of LLM to answer more complex questions and the ability to drill down into apps to launch specific features. The current version of Spotlight is mostly limited to launching apps, performing basic web searches, and getting information like the weather and sports scores.

iOS 18 will take an important leap in terms of AI
It is not clear, yes, When will AI features be available in Spotlight?. Or if we will finally see this feature on iPhones with iOS 18, as well as compatible iPads and Macs. Apple, we reiterate, is considering enhancing its search engine with AI functions as part of its strategy to implement more artificial intelligence features in its products. And, in this way, stand up to companies like Samsung or Google.
In fact, Apple including AI in spotlight in iOS 18 represents an important advantage over OpenAI, since the company cannot apply artificial intelligence functions on the device itself, as Apple could do.
In addition, a recent rumor highlights that the processor that Apple will include in the iPhone 16 “will considerably increase the number of integrated AI cores.” This would allow the company include more AI features on the device. In turn, leaks from just a few months ago revealed that the company was investing millions of dollars a day in an AI capable of dealing with ChatGPT. Apple, specifically, would have a team of 16 people dedicated to developing a model similar to or superior to GPT-3.5 that has been trained with “more than 200 billion parameters.”
