Apple is preparing one of the largest updates to its services in years. With the launch of new operating systems, users will receive a range of features utilizing artificial intelligence that aim to simplify everyday use of the company's devices. Changes will include, among others, Apple Maps, Wallet, Apple Cash, Apple Music, Podcasts, iCloud, and the Find service.
Maps and the Find feature will become much smarter
One of the biggest innovations will be the improved Apple Maps. The Flyover feature will receive more detailed views of cities generated using a combination of aerial images and AI technology. As a result, users will see even more accurate representations of buildings and surroundings while planning trips or exploring new places. There will also be Local Listings, which will suggest restaurants, attractions, or places worth visiting based on anonymized trends and the popularity of certain locations. Significant changes will also come to the Find app. Users will be able to control the sharing of their location much more precisely by setting an exact end time for sharing. Apple has also prepared a new, unified Find app for the Apple Watch, which will combine the existing features for finding people, devices, and items.
Apple Wallet and Apple Cash Will Simplify Everyday Payments
Apple is also significantly enhancing its financial tools. One of the most interesting features will be the smart bill splitting in Apple Cash. Just scan a receipt or take a picture of it, and the system will automatically recognize the items and calculate the amounts each person owes, including taxes and tips. Another new feature will be the ability to create digital versions of loyalty and membership cards directly in Apple Wallet. This will allow users to store even more documents and cards in one place. Apple is also expanding Apple Pay. The new payment interface will display more useful information, such as loyalty points balance, available installments, or account status. Stores will also feature the Tap to Share function, allowing for quicker sharing of data needed for purchases.
More changes in Apple Music, Podcasts, and iCloud
Fall updates will also include other Apple services. Video podcasts will be available on Mac computers and devices running tvOS. Apple Music will receive additional features for translating song lyrics, improved mixing of tracks, and support for Hi-Res Lossless audio on Apple TV 4K. Meanwhile, Shared iCloud Albums will allow for full-quality photo sharing, support more file types, and enable participation from non-Apple device users. Apple has not forgotten about sports fans and Fitness+ users either. The Apple Sports app will be expanded to more countries, and Fitness+ will gain a new workout program aimed at women going through menopause.
Apple is focusing on an even deeper integration of artificial intelligence with its services. The autumn updates aim to make using Maps, payments, podcasts, or photo storage more convenient and intuitive. Particularly interesting are the new features in Apple Wallet and intelligent solutions using Apple Intelligence for everyday tasks.
