Apple Will Improve AI Capabilities In iOS 18, What Has Changed?

Technology-Portfolio.Net - Apple will reportedly bring more AI features to the iPhone via iOS 18. The company plans to take several steps to implement AI features, including collaborating with other technology companies.

For your information, AI/artificial intelligence and Machine Learning are not new to the iPhone, Apple has been developing AI in the iPhone for years.

The AI features that have been embedded in the iPhone include Portrait Mode on the iPhone camera, as well as the ability to copy and paste text from photos.

Now, Apple will present more AI features in iOS 18 at the 2024 Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). It is rumored that the company will take AI features to the next level by implementing generative AI features on the iPhone.

For your information, generative AI is an AI model that is trained on large volumes of data and is able to create content in response to entered commands.

Generative AI was first popularized by OpenAI through ChatGPT. Thanks to the success of ChatGPT, many technology companies are developing and implementing generative AI such as Google, Samsung, and Microsoft.

Even though Apple has not revealed its plans to introduce AI features in iOS 18, this has been seen from several leaks and a number of steps taken by the company.

One of them is that several reports show that Apple has acquired several AI startup companies, such as DarwinAI and Datakalab. Apart from that, there are several other AI implementation plans that Apple is also said to be bringing to the iPhone, here are some of them.

iOS 18 Brings Many AI Features

Apple VP of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi has been tasked with implementing a number of new features into iOS that are strengthened by Apple Large Language Model (LLM).

However, it is still unclear what AI features will be present in iOS 18. However, the report says Apple will bring AI improvements to the Messages and Siri applications.

According to some analysts, Apple will wait until September 2024 to announce new AI features along with the release of the iPhone 16.

As is known, Samsung and Google have provided a glimpse of how generative AI can change the way smartphones are used.

Both companies offer features that can rewrite text messages in different language styles before hitting the send button, as well as photo editing tools that can refill empty spaces in photos after moving objects.

It is possible that Apple will present an AI feature with similar capabilities in a future iOS update.

Apple Will Collaborate with Google to Present New AI Features

Apple is reportedly in talks with Google and OpenAI about using AI models to support certain future iPhone features.

This AI model will likely be used for AI features that require cloud processing.

Apple will also reportedly use its own LLM for AI processing without requiring an internet connection.

A report from Bloomberg suggests that Apple's first generative AI feature for the iPhone will be processed on the device, not in the cloud.

AI processed on the device is considered more secure and private. Because the data does not have to leave the device, but processing requires a more powerful chipset.

Based on circulating reports, Apple is said to be focusing on AI models that are run on devices locally, while looking for partners for cloud-based AI processing. Collaboration with other companies is nothing new for Apple.

For example, Google paid Apple billions of dollars to be the default search engine in the Safari browser. Apart from that, the company has also partnered with Qualcomm to bring 5G modems to the iPhone.

New Processor To Improve AI Processing

To improve AI processing, Apple is reportedly developing a processor that can improve data processing performance.

According to a report from MacRumors, a processor called A18 will be embedded in the iPhone 16 line. This processor will expand the capabilities of the Neural Engine which can help AI processing.

Siri is also predicted to be one of Apple's focuses in implementing AI features. A report from Bloomberg shows that Siri will get the latest AI-supported features.

The report cites the ability to ask Siri to create a GIF of your last five photos, and then share it.

Apple Officially Releases iOS 15.2.1 Update

Technology-Portfolio.Net - Apple has released software updates for iOS 15.2.1 and iPadOS 15.2.1, for iPhone and iPad devices.

Through this update, Apple brings a number of fixes to address the loopholes and bugs found in iOS 15.2. One of them is a bug fix where photos from iCloud Link fail to load when sent via message.

iCloud Link itself is a service that allows users to share photos and videos via iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and the iCloud.com site.

This service is temporary, so all photos shared via iCloud Link will be automatically deleted after 30 days.

After successfully saved in iCloud Link, users can copy the link ( link ) of the photo or video to be shared via messages in Messages or Mail services. However, due to a bug , iOS users who receive photos via a link in the Messages service are often unable to load the photo in question.

This is of course very annoying because users can't see photos included in short messages sent by other people.

This iOS 15.2.1 also addresses a bug found in the HomeKit protocol. The bug is a loophole that can make an iPhone or iPad not work.

Through the loophole, a malicious individual could change the name of a HomeKit-compatible device to more than 500,000 characters. This can cause the device to malfunction.

Other fixes focus on third-party CarPlay app services that sometimes struggle to respond to user input.

The presence of this bug seems quite annoying, considering the high reports from iPhone users who complain of similar problems.

Usually, iOS updates can be obtained automatically. This is indicated by the appearance of a special notification on the device But if you don't get it, users can update the system manually.

To do this, users can access the Settings menu > General > Software update.

The iOS 15.2.1 update is about 970 MB in size.

Devices from Apple that are already compatible in the iOS 15.2.1 list are revealed in the sector on the iPhone 13 starting from iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS, iPhone 11, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 7, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone SE (Gen 2), iPhone SE (1st Gen), iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPod touch (Gen 7).

While tablet devices will be available on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (Gen 5, Gen 4, Gen 3, Gen 2, Gen 1), iPad Pro 11 inch (Gen 3, Gen 2, Gen 1), iPad Pro 10.5 inch, iPad Pro 9.7 inch, iPad (Gen 5, Gen 6, Gen 7, Gen 8, Gen 9), iPad Air (Gen 2, Gen 3, Gen 4), iPad mini (Gen 4, Gen 5, Gen 6).

Instagram Tries Edit Grid Feature to Create A More Aesthetic Feed

Technology-Portfolio.Net - Instagram is testing a new feature called Edit Grid. This feature will be very useful for Instagram users who want to have an aesthetic profile feed.

Currently this feature is still in the development stage. But developer and leaker Alessandro Paluzzi managed to dig into it to show how this feature looks and works before it is rolled out.

In a tweet on his Twitter account, Paluzzzi shared two screenshots showing this feature. The first screenshot shows the edit profile page showing a new option called Edit Grid.

If the user selects this option, they can change the order of the photos on the profile page. Instead of bothering to delete or archive photos, users can simply drag-and-drop the photos they want to move to make their profiles look neater and more aesthetic, as quoted from XDA Developers, Thursday (13/1/2022).

Currently, Instagram has not shared information about this new feature. But chances are they will reveal more information once this feature is ready to roll out.

This phone will be equipped with MIUI 13 operating system.

Meanwhile, as the main kitchen, the Redmi Note 11S is thought to be powered by a Mediatek processor. Rumors about this processor are still very vague, some say Helio G95, but others suspect Dimensity 810 - the same as on the Redmi Note 11 which will launch in October 2021 in China.

Speculations are circulating claiming that the Redmi Note 11S could have an AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 90 Hz. These are still just leaks and predictions so we need to wait for the teaser regarding the Redmi Note 11s.

Getting To Know More About and Benefits Of VoIP Business Phone System

Technology-Portfolio.Net - VoIP technology is one of the results of the development of the latest technology today. This technology will make it easier for you to communicate. To help you take advantage of this technology, you can read detailed reviews and benefits of VoIP technology for the communication process.

Knowing IP Phone or VoIP Technology

VoIP technology is the latest modern communication technology. VoIP is Voice Over Internet Protocol which is often referred to as IP telephone or digital phone. This technology is voice that will be sent and converted into data first and then sent to the recipient via the internet network. This VoIP technology will change the voice with the help of internet protocol. VoIP has been implemented in various types of open source standards and procedures with various benefits for communicating.

VoIP This is different from standard telephones that use the traditional public telephone network (PSTN).

This digital IP-based telephone service uses control protocols such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) or various other proprietary protocols.

The Benefits of Using VoIP Technology

VoIP-based telephone technology offers Internet connection-based telephone technology with various advantages compared to the old conventional system. There are some tangible benefits when you use VoIP technology to communicate.

Easy to Install and Configure

One of the benefits of using VoIP technology is the ease of installation of this technology. Installation of this technology is quite easy and simple for those of you who have knowledge of mediocre technology. Instead of using a landline, you can install this technology application. You can set it up as easily as an IP phone and it's simple to configure. After that, you can immediately take advantage of it.

You can save costs when using this VoIP technology service. Long distance calls with this technology are much lower than those of landlines. You can even save on monthly bills from your landline after you use this technology. This benefit is very real felt by many people.

Can Carry Numbers Easily

Do you want to travel? When you want to go, of course, a lot of things to bring including your phone with VoIP technology. Now you don't have to be afraid of not being able to communicate easily without the help of this technology because this VoIP phone system makes it easy for you to access the portal website easily and reinstall the system whenever you want. This has a great impact on your travel schedule because the number from this technology system can be carried with you when you travel. Calls with this phone number can be diverted wherever you go because this system is already cloud-based so it is more flexible.

Clear Sound Quality

Not only practical, this VoIP technology also steals your attention with other benefits. You can make calls or communicate with internet-based technology with a smooth and clear voice. Voice quality with VoIP technology is very good even though the distance is quite far. You are like talking to the person in front of you or beside you.

Easy to Manage and Organize

Another benefit is that it makes it easier for you to manage and manage VoIP technology in your communication system. All receipts of incoming and outgoing calls will be properly recorded and managed on the computer.

Offering Various Facilities

In addition, this technology also offers various facilities for this internet-based telephone. The first facility is speed dial, which makes it easy for you to make calls without pressing the number or numbers of the recipient. Limit duration is useful for limiting your phone time. Limit destination is also a good feature to limit the number of your phone destination. Meanwhile, the time limit is useful for giving a limit on how long the internet phone usage can be. The last facility is multi-password which is useful for managing phone users by password.

Easy to Communicate

The last benefit of VoIP technology is that it makes it easier for you to communicate with anyone and anywhere. Communication can be done both in big cities, small towns, or in villages. Even communication can be done between continents and countries. Surely you will feel much closer to your friends, family, and girlfriends who are far away.

Components and Software

VoIP Phone consists of hardware and software components. The software requires standard networking components such as a TCP/IP network stack, client implementations for DHCP, and the Domain Name System (DNS). In addition, VoIP signaling protocol stacks, such as for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.323, Skinny Client Control Protocol (Cisco), and Skype, are required. For media flow, Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is used in most VoIP systems. For voice and media encoding, various encodings are available, such as for audio: G.711 , GSM , iLBC, Speex , G.729 , G.722 , G.722.2 (AMR-WB), other audio codecs, and for H video. 263 , H.263 + , H.264 . The user interface software controls the operation of the hardware components, and can respond to user actions with messages to the display screen.

STUN Client

To enable VoIP communication, SIP/RTP packets must be used and STUN client will be a key component for VoIP communication with SIP/RTP packet management. A Session Traversal Utility for NAT (STUN) clients is used on some SIP based VoIP phones as a firewall on network interfaces sometimes blocking SIP/RTP packets. Some special mechanism is required in this case to enable SIP packet routing from one network to another. STUN is used in some sip phones to enable SIP/RTP packets across the boundary of two different IP networks. A packet becomes unroutable between two sip elements if one network uses a private IP address range and the other is in a public IP address range. Stun is a mechanism to activate this border traversal. There are alternative mechanisms for NAT traversal, STUN is just one of them. STUN or any other NAT traversal mechanism is not required when two connected SIP phones can be routed to each other and there is no firewall in between.

DHCP Client

DHCP client software simplifies device connection to IP networks. The software automatically configures the network parameters and VoIP services.

How VoIP Phone System Technology Works

VoIP technology is able to convert various analog voices received directly from the speakers on the computer into data. Then, the data packet will continue the voice through the router with the help of the internet network to be received by the recipient of the call. The transmission of the signal to this destination must be done digitally, i.e. the voice is converted into digital data before being sent. Those are some things about Phone or VoIP technology.
