Apple is secretly developing a ChatGPT-like application to prepare for a major upgrade of Siri.

On September 27 (UTC+8), according to informed sources, Apple has developed an iPhone application similar to ChatGPT to assist in testing and preparing for the highly anticipated major upgrade of Siri next year. The sources indicate that Apple's artificial intelligence department is using this application to rapidly assess new features for the Siri voice assistant, including testing its ability to search personal data (such as songs and emails) and perform in-app operations like editing photos. The software's code name is "Veritas," which means "truth" in Latin, and is currently intended for internal use only. Apple has no plans to release this application to consumers at this time. Essentially, the application presents the new Siri technology, still in development, in a form that employees can test more efficiently. After multiple delays, the new Siri is expected to debut as early as March next year. If the software performs as promised, it could help Apple make a comeback in the field of artificial intelligence. However, if it underperforms, the company may fall further behind some smartphone competitors.
