Beyond Siri: Here are the practical AI features coming to your iPhone in iOS 27
超越 Siri:iOS 27 即将为你的 iPhone 带来哪些实用的 AI 功能
Siri’s AI overhaul may have been the headline announcement at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month, but Apple’s broader AI strategy is taking shape through a series of smaller features embedded across its software. Rather than asking consumers to adopt the new AI-powered version of Siri to get all the benefits that AI brings, the company is weaving AI into the apps and services people already use, with a focus on solving real-world problems.
在本月初的苹果全球开发者大会(WWDC)上,Siri 的 AI 全面升级或许是头条新闻,但苹果更广泛的 AI 战略正通过嵌入其软件中的一系列小型功能逐渐成形。苹果并没有要求消费者必须使用新版 AI Siri 才能享受 AI 带来的便利,而是将 AI 融入人们已经在使用的应用程序和服务中,专注于解决现实生活中的问题。
The result is that your iPhone will be able to split restaurant bills among friends, secure your passwords after data breaches, automate tasks, and organize information with less manual effort, among other things. Individually, these features may not be as dramatic as a Siri that finally understands your personal context and can take action on your behalf. But combined, they showcase a vision for AI that’s less about chatting with a bot and more about making Apple’s software itself feel smarter and more capable.
其结果是,你的 iPhone 将能够实现好友间分摊餐费、在数据泄露后保护你的密码、自动化执行任务以及更省力地整理信息等功能。单独来看,这些功能可能不如那个终于能理解你的个人语境并为你代劳的 Siri 那样令人震撼。但综合起来,它们展示了一种 AI 愿景:AI 不再仅仅是与聊天机器人对话,而是让苹果的软件本身变得更智能、更强大。
Beyond Siri AI, here are the smaller AI features in iOS 27 that we’re most looking forward to using. The features are live now in the developer beta and will soon arrive in the public beta, before iOS 27’s general public release later this fall.
除了 Siri AI 之外,以下是我们在 iOS 27 中最期待使用的几项小型 AI 功能。这些功能目前已在开发者测试版中上线,并将很快进入公测阶段,随后于今年秋季正式向公众发布。
Bill splitting
分摊账单
When iOS 27 rolls out later this fall, customers will be able to split the restaurant bill using Apple Cash. Powered by Apple Intelligence, you simply take a photo of the receipt (or upload a photo), and you’ll then see a new option that lets you choose to split the bill with others. Apple Intelligence works to extract the key details from the bill, like the items ordered and the quantities, the tip, and the total. You can choose the items you ordered from the receipt and then share a request for others to do the same by messaging the group chat. Others can select their items and quantities — even selecting a half (1/2) if they split with another. To pay, you double-click just as you would for any other Apple Cash transaction.
当 iOS 27 在今年秋季晚些时候推出时,用户将能够使用 Apple Cash 分摊餐费。在 Apple Intelligence 的支持下,你只需拍摄一张收据照片(或上传照片),就会看到一个新选项,让你选择与他人分摊账单。Apple Intelligence 会自动从账单中提取关键信息,如所点菜品及数量、小费和总额。你可以从收据中勾选自己点的菜品,然后通过群聊发送请求,让其他人也进行同样的操作。其他人可以选择他们点的菜品和数量——如果与他人分摊,甚至可以选择“一半 (1/2)”。支付时,只需像进行其他 Apple Cash 交易一样双击侧边按钮即可。
The bill-splitting option doesn’t feel complicated because it only shows up when it’s needed and works with existing apps and services people already know, like Messages and Apple Cash. It’s also smart enough to request everyone’s share of the tax and tip along with the item prices.
分摊账单功能并不复杂,因为它只在需要时才会出现,并且与人们已经熟悉的现有应用程序和服务(如“信息”和 Apple Cash)无缝协作。它还足够智能,能自动计算并要求每个人分摊税费和小费。
Password update
密码更新
Thanks to password managers like Apple’s Passwords app or others from third parties like 1Password, Dashlane, or Bitwarden, you’ve now likely created complex passwords that aren’t prone to being easily guessed. Unfortunately, that’s no longer enough to keep passwords secure. As numerous data breaches have shown us over the years, your passwords often still end up in the hands of bad actors through no fault of your own.
得益于苹果的“密码”应用或 1Password、Dashlane、Bitwarden 等第三方密码管理器,你现在很可能已经创建了不容易被猜到的复杂密码。遗憾的是,这已不足以确保密码安全。正如多年来无数次数据泄露事件所显示的,即便你没有过错,你的密码往往仍会落入不法分子手中。
Apple’s new password-updating feature will now leverage AI to agentically take action on users’ behalf by identifying both weak and compromised passwords — like those found in a data breach. Instead of forcing you to manually update your passwords, the feature securely navigates websites, signing in and upgrading your passwords to new, more secure versions.
苹果全新的密码更新功能现在将利用 AI 代理技术,代表用户主动采取行动,识别弱密码和已泄露的密码(例如在数据泄露中发现的密码)。该功能无需你手动更新密码,而是能安全地导航至网站,自动登录并将你的密码升级为更安全的新版本。
Messages’ one-tap suggestions
“信息”一键建议
If you thought the feature that automatically displays the SMS passcode you need to sign into a website right above the keyboard is one of the best things Apple has ever introduced, you’re going to like the new one-tap suggestions in iOS 27.
如果你认为“在键盘上方自动显示登录网站所需的短信验证码”是苹果有史以来推出的最棒功能之一,那么你一定会喜欢 iOS 27 中的全新“一键建议”功能。
Using Apple Intelligence, the Messages app will offer a variety of one-tap suggestions based on the topics of users’ conversations. For instance, if a friend texts to ask you to bring them something when you meet up, the one-tap suggestion might ask if you’d like to add the request to your reminders. If someone asks you to share the photos from an event, Apple Intelligence can suggest the right photos to send using its understanding of keywords, locations, and the people in their Photos Library. Or, if you’re planning a dinner date or work meeting, Messages can prompt you to add the event to your Calendar. And so on. Again, the feature itself just appears like a useful tool in your chat, not as an obviously AI-powered addition.
通过 Apple Intelligence,“信息”应用将根据用户的对话主题提供各种一键建议。例如,如果朋友发短信让你见面时带点东西,一键建议可能会询问你是否要将此请求添加到提醒事项中。如果有人让你分享某次活动的相片,Apple Intelligence 可以通过理解关键词、地点以及“照片”图库中的人物,建议你发送正确的照片。或者,如果你正在计划晚餐约会或工作会议,“信息”应用会提示你将该活动添加到日历中。诸如此类。同样,该功能在聊天中看起来只是一个实用的工具,而不是一个显眼的 AI 插件。
Call context
通话语境
Another under-the-radar option coming in iOS 27 will make phone calls with companies’ customer service departments slightly less stressful, as it will surface necessary information you may need to provide the business rep who answers. For instance, if you’re calling about your airline reservation, the Call Context feature will display your confirmation code directly on the call screen.
iOS 27 中另一个低调的功能将减轻与公司客服部门通话时的压力,因为它会显示你可能需要提供给客服代表的必要信息。例如,如果你是致电查询机票预订,通话语境(Call Context)功能会直接在通话屏幕上显示你的确认代码。
To work, the feature is leveraging Apple Intelligence to pull the information from your email in Mail, running entirely on the device for privacy. What’s more, it’s a tool that just works in the background; it doesn’t require you to speak to an AI assistant to extract the information — the necessary details just appear.
为了实现这一功能,它利用 Apple Intelligence 从你的“邮件”应用中提取信息,且完全在设备端运行以保护隐私。更重要的是,这是一个在后台运行的工具;你无需与 AI 助手对话来提取信息——必要的信息会自动显示出来。
Adding Calendar events
添加日历事件
Replicating a feature that third-party apps like Fantastical have had for years, Apple will now also allow you to add or change Calendar events just by describing them in natural language. Under the hood, Apple Intelligence extracts the contacts and locations and creates a title for the event on your behalf. The feature makes it easier to add things to your Apple Calendar without having to think about which field needs information entered.
效仿 Fantastical 等第三方应用多年来拥有的功能,苹果现在也允许你通过自然语言描述来添加或更改日历事件。在后台,Apple Intelligence 会为你提取联系人和地点,并自动创建事件标题。该功能让你无需思考哪个字段需要输入什么信息,就能更轻松地将事项添加到 Apple 日历中。
Vibe coding Shortcuts
“快捷指令”的“氛围编码”
One of the more powerful apps on iPhone, Shortcuts, has been out of reach for many users because of the technical overhead involved. The app lets you script tasks and workflows and create automations that make your life easier. But using Shortcuts could be a frustrating experience for non-power users, who would have to seek out online tutorials or other resources, like Shortcut galleries, to find the tools they needed.
“快捷指令”是 iPhone 上功能最强大的应用之一,但由于涉及较高的技术门槛,许多用户难以触及。该应用允许你编写任务和工作流脚本,并创建自动化流程来简化生活。但对于非高级用户来说,使用“快捷指令”可能是一种令人沮丧的体验,他们必须寻找在线教程或其他资源(如快捷指令库)才能找到所需的工具。
In iOS 27, you can just describe what you want your iPhone to do. Apple suggests you could configure your alarm every night based on what events you have on your calendar the next day.
在 iOS 27 中,你只需描述你希望 iPhone 执行的操作即可。苹果建议,你可以根据第二天日历上的活动,配置每晚的闹钟。
