columnist for the Wall Street Journal

00:04 - 00:07

Joanna Stern Joanna good to have you

00:06 - 00:10

with us so we knew this would be sort of

00:07 - 00:12

a a gradual roll out once we first heard

00:10 - 00:15

about Apple intelligence walk us through

00:12 - 00:18

with this integration of chat GPT means

00:15 - 00:19

how it's expected to work with Siri what

00:18 - 00:20

are some examples of new things users

00:19 - 00:24

could be able to

00:20 - 00:26

do yeah so yesterday iOS 18.2 came out

00:24 - 00:28

and I want to be clear here everyone

00:26 - 00:31

with an iPhone or most iPhones got iOS

00:28 - 00:35

18.2 but only if you have an iPhone 15

00:31 - 00:37

Pro or iPhone 16 one of the iPhone 16

00:35 - 00:39

models released this year will you get

00:37 - 00:41

these artificial intelligence tools I'm

00:39 - 00:43

about to talk about so it's a bummer if

00:41 - 00:45

you've got an older phone and now the

00:43 - 00:46

question is are these tools going to

00:45 - 00:48

convince you to go buy a new iPhone

00:46 - 00:50

that's what Apple's hoping and so yes

00:48 - 00:52

there is deep integration with chat GPT

00:50 - 00:54

open AI chat GPT throughout the

00:52 - 00:56

operating system the big one is Siri if

00:54 - 00:57

you ask Siri some questions and Siri

00:56 - 01:00

stumped which you know is a lot of the

00:57 - 01:02

time it will go and ask you can I ask

01:00 - 01:04

chat GPT this question you can ask it to

01:02 - 01:06

rewrite things you can ask it to write

01:04 - 01:08

things and we can talk about my favorite

01:06 - 01:09

thing which is called gen mooji this

01:08 - 01:12

doesn't have anything to do with chat

01:09 - 01:14

GPT but you can put in whatever phrase I

01:12 - 01:17

mean not whatever phrase but lots of

01:14 - 01:18

different phrases and get an emoji of

01:17 - 01:20

your

01:18 - 01:22

dreams yes we just saw some pictures of

01:20 - 01:24

that shrimp with a cowboy hat hilarious

01:22 - 01:25

um everybody loves an emoji and it's fun

01:24 - 01:27

to talk about some of the fun stuff

01:25 - 01:29

Joanna are there any concerns for people

01:27 - 01:31

who have like been reticent to even use

01:29 - 01:33

chat GP PT maybe don't know a lot about

01:31 - 01:35

Ai and it's kind of like I don't know if

01:33 - 01:39

I want this on my phone are there any

01:35 - 01:41

concerns well so Apple has been very

01:39 - 01:43

clear and careful with this you do not

01:41 - 01:45

have to turn on what they call Apple

01:43 - 01:47

intelligence which is their Suite of AI

01:45 - 01:48

Tools in fact when you get this new

01:47 - 01:50

operating system update it will ask you

01:48 - 01:53

if you want to opt into using Apple

01:50 - 01:55

intelligence entirely and then it takes

01:53 - 01:57

that extra step if it's going to ask

01:55 - 02:00

chat GPT something it gives you a popup

01:57 - 02:02

that says do you want to use chat GPT

02:00 - 02:05

here so you absolutely do not have to

02:02 - 02:06

use any of this if you want to use this

02:05 - 02:08

as I mentioned you need to really have

02:06 - 02:11

one of these newer phones you mentioned

02:08 - 02:13

this question of will it translate to

02:11 - 02:14

more sales what do investors and

02:13 - 02:16

analysts think do they think it's going

02:14 - 02:18

to lead to more sales I mean what what

02:16 - 02:21

ultimately is the goal of

02:18 - 02:23

this well investors and analysts really

02:21 - 02:25

wanted this to lead to more sales

02:23 - 02:26

especially when the iPhone was announced

02:25 - 02:29

in September they said this was going to

02:26 - 02:31

start an iPhone super cycle which is

02:29 - 02:33

when everyone goes out and upgrades that

02:31 - 02:35

is just not what's happened but what

02:33 - 02:37

this has done is add new features like

02:35 - 02:39

apple does every year for people who do

02:37 - 02:41

need to upgrade and most people do go

02:39 - 02:43

out and upgrade every few years they

02:41 - 02:44

want to have something new or their old

02:43 - 02:47

phone has broke or there's a good and

02:44 - 02:48

compelling tradein deal and so these

02:47 - 02:50

just give you some extra things and what

02:48 - 02:52

I said in my review of this this new

02:50 - 02:54

operating system is well this is finally

02:52 - 02:56

the iPhone 16 we were promised this is

02:54 - 02:58

what they talked about on stage in

02:56 - 03:00

September now it's finally here just a

02:58 - 03:02

Enhancing User Experience: Apple's Integration of Chat GPT in iOS 18.2

In the world of smartphones, the latest buzz is all about Apple's integration of Chat GPT in the newly released iOS 18.2. As explained by Joanna Stern, a Personal Technology Analyst and Columnist for the Wall Street Journal, this integration is a game-changer for users of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 models. With the rollout of this artificial intelligence tool, Apple aims to revolutionize the user experience, particularly with Siri.

The Power of Chat GPT in iOS 18.2

The incorporation of Chat GPT powered by OpenAI brings a new dimension to the user interaction with Siri. Users can now leverage this technology to enhance Siri's abilities, especially when faced with challenging questions. By tapping into the vast knowledge base of Chat GPT, Siri can provide more accurate and detailed responses, opening up a world of possibilities for users.

Exciting New Features for Users

One of the standout features of iOS 18.2 is the "Gen Mooji" function, which allows users to generate custom emojis based on input phrases. This fun and creative tool add a personalized touch to messaging, making conversations more engaging and entertaining. Additionally, the seamless integration of Chat GPT across the operating system ensures a smoother user experience, whether it's rewriting text or generating emojis.

Addressing User Concerns

For users who may have reservations about AI technology like Chat GPT, Apple has taken a cautious approach. Opting into the Apple Intelligence suite is entirely voluntary, giving users full control over their privacy and data. The added layer of consent when accessing Chat GPT ensures that users can choose whether to utilize this feature, addressing concerns about AI integration on their devices.

Implications for Sales and Growth

As with any major update, the question arises: Will the integration of Chat GPT and other AI tools translate into increased sales for Apple? While investors and analysts had high hopes for an iPhone "super cycle," the reality has been more about enhancing the user experience for current and potential iPhone users. The goal is to provide compelling reasons for users to upgrade, and the introduction of new features like Chat GPT is a step in that direction.

The Future of iPhone Innovation

In conclusion, Apple's continuous innovation with features like Chat GPT showcases the company's commitment to improving user experiences and staying at the forefront of technology. While the iPhone 16 models may be the first to enjoy these cutting-edge features, Apple's broader vision is to set new standards for user interaction and engagement. As users explore the possibilities offered by Chat GPT and other AI tools, the iPhone ecosystem continues to evolve, offering new and exciting experiences.

As we witness the evolution of technology, Apple's integration of Chat GPT in iOS 18.2 marks a significant step forward in enhancing user experiences and pushing the boundaries of innovation. Whether it's generating custom emojis or accessing smarter responses from Siri, this update exemplifies Apple's dedication to leveraging AI for the benefit of its users. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest tech trends and advancements.
