And even before its launch, it has already attracted interest online and from investors and “thousands” of users, according to its creator – a sign that consumers will want an AI-savvy iPhone.

The software can also record email responses, help you schedule your meetings, send reminders, and report suspicious transactions in your bank accounts. Its developer says it can give you location-specific recommendations and more about local businesses, neighborhoods, and attractions while you’re out and about.
