As you already know Siri as a smart assistant you can talk to, but it is a technology powering Search on your iPhone and iPad devices. You can ask Siri to search specific pictures from one of your friend’s birthday you’ve taken a while ago. You can ask Siri to remind you about some specific tasks schedules when you reach your office etc. It helps you in deep search within a cluster of apps installed by you. Search relevant people, suggested apps, places nearby, and News etc.in the easiest way. In short, now Siri powers a more intelligent Search and it is making little things a lot easier. Let’s be prepared to get connected to your proactive assistant when it gets released.
There’s a lot more to explore yet Apple’s software surgeons have put a lot of effort into making things feel faster and more fluid, especially when moving between your emails, messages, websites, blogs, PDFs etc. You can also turn your iPhone device in Low Power mode, in Setting->-Battery- but you’ll be invited to turn it on when battery sinks below 20% and again when there’s 10% left. Isn’t that amazing?
