No, this is not an April Fool's joke and this news could well be a bombshell if it turns out to be true... because for now it is only a rumor! Indeed, according to Mark Gurman, a journalist known for his seriousness at Bloomberg, spoke yesterday to discuss Apple's future project.
After releasing the new version of iOS 18.4 overnight, including the much-maligned Apple Intelligence, the brand is already preparing the sequel with an artificial intelligence like no other...
Health+: a health coach integrated into your iPhone
Mark Gurman announced that Apple would be working on a health coach, or an "AI Doctor" as the journalist calls it, which could be directly integrated into the iPhone.

Moreover, this information leak, if it turns out to be accurate, leaves many Apple experts doubtful on the subject. Indeed, the brand is just emerging from a scandal with the fiasco of the new version of Siri, and is attracting the wrath of many fans disappointed by Apple.
An opportunity for it to make a big splash with Sante+ and to return to the field of AI? To find out, we will have to be patient in the coming months, as Apple has a habit of presenting its latest innovations at the last minute...
