Leak: future iOS update to introduce Siri-based voice control

When Apple snatched up Siri back in April, we needed to wonder exactly what Cupertino was planning for the voice controlled virtual assistant . The reply, in keeping with a brand new leak, is unsurprisingly obvious: iOS integration. A screenshot leaked to 9to5Mac flaunts an “Assistant” feature presumably built right into a firmware update. To back up the screenshot, the aforesaid site dove into the iOS SDK and uncovered code describing Siri-like use of the iPhone’s location, contact list, and song metadata. The code also outlined a “speaker” feature, opening a door for further Nuance integration in Apple products. Sound awesome?

Hit the source link to work out the code and conjecture for yourself.
