Apple Introducing Siri For Mac
The 2018 Worldwide Developers Conference is set to kick off on Monday, and ahead of the event, has started decorating the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California, which is where the venue for the conference. At the event, the Cupertino-based tech giant is expected to debut new versions of, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS, alongside a few hardware surprises that could include refreshed Macs and iPads. The annual event serves as a for app developers to meet each other and learn about the future of Apple's various platforms, and for Apple to discuss that future with them. Apple’s top execs preview the company’s upcoming operating systems and often reveal new services and products. Here’s what we expect to see this year: iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS The next version of iOS which is iOS 12 will focus more on stability and reliability than dramatic, sweeping changes.
Apple may finally loosen the leash on the NFC chips in its iPhones and Apple Watches in iOS 12. IOS 12 will finally allow iPhones and Apple Watches to work with NFC-enabled transit systems, ID systems, car doors, and more. However, it is unlikely that Apple will allow developers to support NFC-enabled payment systems that could compete with Apple Pay. Apple may finally push for robust parental controls. Users have been asking for this major overhaul for years now and it may finally be here.
The watchOS 5 may continue to push into health and fitness features. Some of the new features of watchOS 5 may be held back until the announcement of a new, likely at the event slated for September.
Given Apple’s big investment in original programming, the TV app will eventually need a big update. Apple is likely to formally announce the video service that will give us access to all those original shows and series it’s producing.

Siri With Alexa and Assistant taking over, Apple might need to give a big boost to Siri in order to remain competitive. Mac hardware The line is due for a bump up to Intel’s eighth-generation Core processors, after all. A design change is unlikely, however, fans are desperately hoping for a replacement for Apple’s much-maligned butterfly keyboard, and the Touch Bar appears to be an experiment that has gone nowhere. The is due for a refresh, too, but the latest rumors suggest that has been pushed back to the fall. Pro There may be a new iPad Pro in the works, with slimmer bezels and a TrueDepth camera with Face ID instead of a home button with Touch ID.
1 Jun, 2018Smart assistants have evolved over the past few years. While Apple first brought the idea of a personal digital assistant mainstream by introducing Siri in 2011, other tech giants weren't left behind in the game and brought out their own versions.
Google introduced the Google Assistant and Amazon brought out Alexa, which have both surpassed Siri’s capabilities by leaps and bounds. WWDC is Apple’s next chance to show the world that Siri can be every bit as useful and accurate as other assistants. 1 Jun, 2018Apple has kind of stuck to the standard measures for a voice assistant – send message, block calendar or set alarm. Siri is offered only on the iPhone, iPad and Mac users. However, Amazon’s Alexa and Google Assistant from Google cater to multiple products and ecosystems. Apple started the trend of automatic speech recognition tools like Siri.
However, Google’s Assistant, Amazon’s Alexa and Microsoft’s Cortana (to some extent) have benefited from Siri by creating a market for them and also from Siri’s poor user experience. 1 Jun, 2018One of the promises of Siri’s technology will be to help make tasks and navigation less time-consuming. Siri needs to be used in a broader set of apps and in specific contexts.
Given Apple’s goal of making Siri a conversational assistant, she could get more proactive in the information and services she provides. Siri would also become a more powerful tool if she better understood your needs throughout the day. Based on the location of your phone, Siri should be able to distinguish whether you’re at home, traveling, or at work. She should also be aware of what time of day it is.

With those two pieces of knowledge combined, she should be able to better serve up calendar information, news, or music that’s relevant to the situation at hand.
Apple has announced the next version of OS X — and the first thing you need to know is that it has a brand-new name: macOS. After 15 years as 'OS X,' Apple is changing its desktop operating system's name to macOS. With this update, all four of Apple's operating systems will share a common naming scheme. There's iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and now macOS. This particular iteration will be known as macOS. Siri is finally here Don't take this to mean that everything about OS X is changing.
This is still the same OS X you know and (maybe) love, plus the requisite new features that come with every major update. This year's biggest new feature is Siri. Five years after its introduction, Apple is finally bringing Siri to the Mac. On macOS, Siri will work almost identically to how it works on iOS.
By clicking on a Siri icon in the dock or menu bar, you'll be able to call it up to schedule reminders, send text messages, open apps, look up movie times and sports statistics, and so on, as it does on the iPhone and iPad. It can do more than that, too. Siri on the Mac will also be able to search through your files and can save searches to the Mac's Notification Center. Two other useful new features are new parts of Continuity. If you're wearing an Apple Watch, your Mac will now be able to automatically unlock when you walk up to it. Apple is also adding a universal clipboard, which allows you to copy and paste between an iPhone and a Mac. Apple is adding some neat iCloud tricks, too Apple is also using iCloud to make file management a bit easier.
First, it's adding a feature that'll let you sync your desktop and documents folder between multiple devices — you'll even be able to view those files from an iPhone or a PC. The more intriguing new iCloud feature has to do with freeing up storage. With Sierra, iCloud will be able to automatically remove old files from your Mac and store them in the cloud, leaving room for the new files you're actually working on. This could be extremely useful (especially with that tiny 128GB SSD Apple's still fond of), but we'll need to see exactly how much iCloud storage Apple decides to offer Mac owners to use this.

There are a smattering of other updates that Apple breezed over and some that it didn't even mention on stage. Those includes a Safari update that lets it use Apple Pay to make purchases on the web, so long as you have an iPhone nearby to authenticate. The addition of tabs to most built-in apps. Updates to Photos to make people and places easier to find.
And a picture-in-picture mode that lets you float video in any corner of the screen. Apple will release a public beta of Sierra this July. Its final release will come sometime this fall.
The last version of macOS, was released in September. That's around when Apple typically ships new versions of its desktop operating system, and that's likely what'll happen again this year. See all of the!
