Apple is preparing to overcome AI’s fashionable word as everyone has been doing for some time, and AI’s great push also arrives this year in Safari, the company’s web browser, according to a new report.
The next version of Safari will be infused in AI, and it should be launched alongside iOS 18Which means that it will most likely be presented to Global Conference of Apple Developers in June.
Safari will get an intelligent research, which will take advantage of AI on devices to identify the subjects and key sentences in a web page that you are considering in order to summarize its content for you. Apple’s large language (LLM) model will identify the sentences that provide explanations or describe the structure of objects, according to the text of the page, and the words that are repeated and key phrases will be recognized as subjects.
It is said that it would come in response to (what else?) Chatgpt, but of course, Apple will bring its usual turn in that the experience, available, will be much safer.
Web Eraser will allow you to delete specific parts of web pages – things like banners, images, text or even sections of whole pages, with “relative ease”. The erasure will also be persistent between the sessions, because Safari will remember the modifications even after closing the tab or the original window.
When you visit the same page again, you will be informed that the page has been modified to reflect the desired changes, then you will get an option to return the changes and restore the web page to its non -arte state if you wish.
It looks a lot like an overly complified way to create an announcement blocker and use the AI fashion for that, but the ad blockers also exist, and have preceded all these AI Manigances, so we don’t know what to do with it.
The new safari will also be delivered with an updated user interface, with a new page control menu giving you easy access to many options that were previously dispersed on the user interface. Aside from intelligent research / intelligent navigation above all and erase web content, this will house other elements such as zoom options, privacy controls, content blocking options, text search, reading mode and extension shortcuts.
Next year, Apple will include a “much more powerful visual search functionality” in its browser which will allow you to “obtain information on consumer products when navigation on images”. This is apparently similar to the visual search functionality which allows Siri to identify plants, pets and benchmarks in the photos.
Although all these things are allegedly already in development, keep in mind that it is not impossible for Apple to delay their launch or to cancel completely – things that have all happened before.
