Is the iPhone Gearing Up for AI Amplification?

While the iPhone 6S and its new 3D Touch features have just made their way to retail stores, market watchers are already keeping a close eye on a new acquisition Apple has made. Bloomberg News reports that Apple has acquired Perceptio, "a startup developing technology to let companies run advanced artificial intelligence systems on smartphones without needing to share as much user data." We can only speculate on the impact the Perceptio acquisition will have on Apple's mobile platform, but we shouldn't be surprised if Siri gets a serious upgrade by the time the iPhone 7 comes out next year.
