That AI will be able to make contextual generative AI (genAI)-driven decisions in reaction to what it sees you interacting with on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Imagine what it will do if used with Vision Pro as it also looks around where you really are. If I’m right about this direction, it’s possible we’ll see visionOS equipped with a profoundly powerful contextual intelligence perhaps toward the end of next year.
The Gift of Sound & Vision
Did I call this profound? Think about it: contextual intelligence is essential for an effective/responsive voice-driven interface at the intersection of technology and the everyday world. What you are looking at will change depending on your context, and the data your device surfaces will reflect the complexity of such complex lives. I see this as being Door Detection on steroids.I also think the gap between the idea and the reality will delay complete realization for a while — but it’s a beginning.
I also think that late 2025 time frame hints at Apple’s target release schedule for the slightly more mass market Vision 2.0 devices speculators expect. However, speculation doesn’t mean much these days until Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman’s “little birds” (Game of Thrones reference) begin to whisper. And I don’t think they’ve discussed how AI, voice, and contextual genAI will underpin dramatic new user interfaces across a multitude of consumer devices (plausibly including something designed by Jony Ive).
