Every year, Apple and Google announce major software updates that bring new features to our smartphones, like cosmetic overhauls to the home screen, stronger privacy protections and fun messaging tools.
This year, the changes will feel more radical because the companies are focusing on reinventing our phones with artificial intelligence.
The new tools include a revamped version of its voice assistant, Siri, that is easier to talk to and an A.I.
system that will generate images, create summaries of web articles and craft responses to text messages and emails.
The change that will have a more immediate effect has to do with old-school text messages — also known as the green bubble.
