Microsoft has announced that it will bring its digital assistant, Cortana, to the iPhone later this year. The company says it will be a “companion” to the Windows 10 PC version of the service, and not the full Cortana for mobile experience:
“Some features require access to the system that aren’t currently possible with iOS or Android, so things like toggling settings or opening apps won’t initially be available in the Cortana companions for those platforms. Similarly, the ability to invoke Cortana hands-free by saying “Hey Cortana” requires special integration with the device’s microphone, so that feature will be limited to Windows Phones and PCs.”
Our take on the news:
Like digital assistants? Well here’s one more for your iPhone, due within the next few months. Have fun.
