The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

This upgrade allows for more expressive Siri voices and improved system-wide dictation on the iPhone 18, while the iPhone 17 will lack these features. The iPhone 18 may also maintain its predecessor's price despite the RAM increase, potentially giving Apple a competitive edge.
