They gave us simple music searching with the clickwheel, and then they managed to rise the computer with multi-touch on the iPhone. But all of these magical interfaces require us to touch our computer, so then they introduced hands-free interaction with Siri. But it wasn't magical. Because what Apple showed us at this year's WWDC could meaningfully change how you interact with the computer. Wow, that was so cool! So I don't know if you've heard of AI, but it actually stands for Apple Intelligence. Tim Cook introduced AI by really reining in expectation and establishing a set of core values behind it. It's not about taking your job, but bringing together all the disparate parts of your device so that something like Siri can finally become useful. So for instance, Siri gets on-device screen awareness and in-app actions. This means you can continuously direct Siri to perform actions in and between apps, perhaps even faster than if you were to tap away yourself. This is going to bring us closer to realizing our vision in which Siri moves through the system in concert with you. This is not easy stuff to just get right, and to help things along, Apple created an app-intense API for developers to integrate into their apps. For us users, Apple Intelligence is designed to know our personal context, so if someone scheduled a time to hang out with you in a text, Siri can reference that even if it's not in your calendar.
