Apple has always been a maverick and seldom follows the trend. When the world is speculating on AI, large models, and GPT, Apple has remained silent about it, as calm as water. Even at the WWDC conference, Cook didn’t mention the word at all. Xiao Gai watched the live broadcast yesterday and said that the only close expression is that when talking about the input method, he mentioned the Transformer language model; when talking about iOS 17 optimization items, he mentioned machine learning technology.
But isn’t machine learning a word that Apple will mention every time it introduces its own hardware and software?
For example, the new diary application Journal uses machine learning technology to provide users with specific writing suggestions and generate specific questions, lowering the entry barrier for writing.
Howling, could it be the competitor of Mo Wen’s note?
Apple’s consistent style is to either create a precedent or catch up from behind. When a technology is immature, it will never be released. The demeanor of a strong man, of course, with a market value of several trillion, it is difficult to keep a low profile. If someone has done it, he is a low-key strongman.
In addition to home-cooked dishes, WWDC also brought a plate of hard dishes to the table: One More Thing… In the last half hour, Cook launched the much-anticipated AR glasses Vision Pro in the classic Jobs session, compared with mediocre software updates , Vision Pro can be said to be the biggest surprise of this conference.
Seven years of hard work, from 2015 when Apple started to build an XR development team, to continuously increasing investment and acquiring related companies, at the annual WWDC conference, the versions of ARKit and RealityKit are updated, all of which are contributing to Apple’s augmented reality technology. . The publicity effect of Vision Pro at the press conference was quite amazing, full of science fiction. Iris unlocking, eye-hand voice interaction, 4K clarity, Eyesight solve the problem of how to integrate virtual and reality, M2+R1 solves the problem of delay vertigo.
After watching the video promotional video, Xiao Gai wiped his saliva and said, imagine being able to lie down and work, watch movies, write articles and look at photos.
Social, office, 3D, movie entertainment, “Ultra-immersive integration of digital content into life will take us to a new era – the era of spatial computing.” Apple maintains its own style: what I provide is not new products, but new way of life.
In addition to the exciting Vision Pro headset, I am more interested in a new app brought by iOS 17: Journal. You can understand it as a diary application officially produced by Apple. The original intention of the product is to help users record their daily life and feelings.
Why are you interested? After all, Mowen is also a notebook product.
There are already many diary apps like Journal in the app store. For example, Day One, from interaction to function is excellent, simple and elegant. In the early years, the first draft of my official account was completed on Day One, then I used Bear, and now I only use Mowen sticky notes.
Why did Apple make this app? I think it should be that Apple has started to pay attention to the “mental health” field.
Cook once said that Apple’s greatest contribution to mankind will be in the field of health. Over the years, whether it is Apple Watch or the constant update of health apps, they are all moving in this direction. In iOS 17 this time, the health app has increased the distance detection between the device and the eyes, which can help reduce the risk of myopia in children, and can also help adult users relieve digital eye fatigue symptoms.
In addition to physical health, I also have an obvious sense of body. In recent years, people have more and more mental health problems. Some time ago, we also wrote an article saying that this may have something to do with everyone’s mobile phone addiction, because it is too easy to obtain simple and superficial happiness through mobile phones. And that kind of superficial happiness will make people more vulnerable mentally, make people gradually lose their patience in doing things, and cause psychological problems.
I think Journal was their first attempt at mental health. A series of psychological studies have shown that journaling allows us to relive the feelings of a particular moment, reflect on our emotions, and express gratitude, which can effectively improve people’s mental health.
Hey, isn’t this also our original intention of starting a business?
Now that it is shot, application linkage is indispensable. Unlike other diary apps, Journal seamlessly integrates with your iPhone’s apps for location, photos, music, messages, podcasts, workouts, and more. It can analyze the user’s behavior based on this information, and combine the device-side machine learning technology to give specific personalized writing suggestions. For example, if you spend most of your time in Beijing, but you suddenly go to the beach one day in June, Apple will think that this day may be special, so it integrates the data at that time, such as the music you listened to, the photos you took, and the specific location. , and then give writing suggestions.
As can be seen from the screenshots, when recording, Journal will give a writing prompt, such as some specific questions, to lower the threshold for users to write a diary. For example, if you go to Beidaihe, it will ask you, “What are the memories that impressed you during this short trip?” From this perspective, I think it is better than Day One. Through the ability of machine learning, Journal can be like a psychologist, based on existing data, ask us questions, help us reflect, relive special moments, and sort out emotions and feelings.
Privacy and security are also bound to be mentioned. For privacy, Journal can be individually locked to prevent prying eyes, and its data is end-to-end encrypted so Apple itself cannot view it. Users have specific control over which device data is used to generate Journal suggestions and when notifications for journal writing are pushed. In addition, Apple also plans to provide developers with an API to help them integrate these personalized writing suggestions in their own applications.
Not surprisingly, Journal (Notes) was launched in September this year.
At that time, Mowen and Notes will join forces to be invincible in the world. Otherwise, I reserve my opinion on whether this product can be used by domestic users. After all, I haven’t remembered anything from the last Boundless Note App. There are very few friends around me who use it.
This time the Journal’s Chinese name is Notes, do you know how to use it?
At this point, Xiao Gai said, Brother Chi, let’s eat first, you will have the strength to brag when you are full.
I said, ok.
