As expected, Siri will get some enhancements in the updated version of tvOS. The voice assistant can now search the system's database of 650,000 movies and shows using more complex topical queries, such as the "high-school comedies from the '80s" example Apple VP Eddy Cue used onstage at today's WWDC keynote. Siri can also search YouTube if you ask it to, using spoken commands such as "search YouTube for Draymond Green repeatedly assaulting other players." For streaming channels that include live programming, such as cable-company apps and Watch ESPN, Siri can now launch them immediately without having to futz around in the menu screen. Saying "watch (app name)" will quickly bring up a big-screen view of the live feed.

The pixels have settled after another WWDC keynote, meaning we now know exactly what's coming to iOS 10 . Siri's the big star, but there are plenty of other features to look forward to. Here's all the tricks your iPhone will learn this this fall. As expected, Apple has created a Siri SDK, which means that developers will now be able to incorporate it into their apps at will. That specific news isn't nearly as important as what it will enable.

Apple's Siri already lives in the company's iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple TV streaming box. Soon enough, the virtual assistant will have a new home on the desktop. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company announced at its annual developers conference Monday that Siri will be coming to Mac computers later this year in its upcoming Sierra update. During a demo on stage, Apple executive Craig Federighi showcased how Siri will be able to quickly pull up files stored on your Mac. Siri for the Mac will also be able to search for images on the Web, launch playlists, and send messages.

Apple device users will soon be able to interact with apps using Siri instead of tapping the iPhone's screen. Apple will allow third-party apps to access Siri, the Cupertino, Calif. This means Siri will be able to do more than just answer questions and set reminders; one could, for instance, tell Siri to send a WeChat message or book an Uber ride. You'll also be able to search photos using your voice in apps like Shutterfly, says Apple. The announcement comes as companies like Amazon and Google are putting more emphasis on their own virtual assistants.

Apple is gearing up to release its next major software update for the Mac called Sierra, which it unveiled for the first time at its annual developers conference on Monday. The new software will launch this fall with a public beta opening in July. Apple is also renaming the software as macOS to be more consistent with its other platforms, like iOS (iPhone and iPad), watchOS (Apple Watch) and tvOS (Apple TV). One of the key features will be the introduction of Siri for the Mac, which Apple showcased in a demo on stage. Apple Pay will also work with websites when the update launches this fall.

Apple's upgraded messaging app will also draw upon machine learning to automatically suggest the appropriate emoji to place alongside texts. It will also show graphics and thumbnails of the information contained in a web link and automatically play online videos when they're opened by a recipient.

Apple is introducing more artificial intelligence to the iPhone and iPad, with devices now able to understand conversations and recognise faces in photos. The technology giant's virtual assistant Siri has been given a major update that now means it can use machine learning to predict words you plan to use in text conversations as well as find faces in your photo albums. Apple chief executive Tim Cook opened the keynote at the WWDC conference in San Francisco by paying tribute to the victims of the Orlando shootings, saying Apple offered its "deepest sympathies to everyone whose lives were touched by the violence".

Baig) SAN FRANCISCO -- To many of the folks keeping score, Apple was already behind rivals heading into its annual Worldwide Developers Conference here in San Francisco. In the hotbed fields of artificial intelligence, virtual reality and voice response, Apple has lagged Amazon, Google, and Facebook -- even though Apple's Siri was the first to familiarize most people with the idea of a vocal personal assistant. I'm sorry to say that Apple didn't say a peep about VR or AR (augmented reality) during what was a packed two-hour presentation. What the company did do -- and it really, it had little choice -- was give Siri more to do and to open her up to third-party developers. She pops up more on the watch, on Apple TV, in the car, and yes, finally, on the Mac.
