Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that Apple is ready to introduce fresh ‘events and invites service’ as a part of iCloud. This innovative service will be one of its kind and will be distinguished from the traditional calendar.
It is expected that this new feature is expected to make its debut soon, probably in the upcoming week. The report refers to this new feature as ‘Confetti’ and has been described as a “novel approach to inviting individuals to gatherings, events, and meetings.”
Bloomberg notes that Apple has been working to improve the calendar app for several years and this initiative now marks the beginning of those improvements. Gurman has further mentioned that the launch of Confetti is linked to iOS 18.3 which started to roll out to iPhone and iPad users late last month.
This indicates that the service could be available to the users anytime. However, the reports provide limited details beyond this.
An important question remains, whether the application has any connection to Apple Intelligence, especially regarding the potential inclusion of features like Image Playground and Genmoji to create invitations.
Moreover, the manner in which the tool will be integrated with the Apple Photos application and its interaction with the native Calendar app remains uncertain.
Developers are poised for the debut of the first beta version of iOS 18.4 and it is plausible that this new tool will be launched concurrently.
The iOS 18.4 update is expected to place some considerable focus on the Artificial Intelligence advancements for Siri, Apple’s voice assistant. These improvements are designed to offer easy intuitive and personalized interactions.
Users can look forward to improvements in natural language processing which will allow Siri to comprehend context in a better way and respond effectively to intricate inquiries.
Moreover, new functions may allow Siri to adapt to user preferences over time, hence improving its capacity to offer customized recommendations and assistance.
