Apple is currently testing out a new voice-text hybrid, a kind of visual voicemail which will allow users to use Siri to record voicemails and then transcribe them as text on your iPhone.

According to a report by Business Insider, Apple employees are already experimenting with iCloud Voicemail, which uses Siri to answer, transcribe and send users a text of voice messages. This new system could be released next year presumably with the iOS 10 mobile operating system.

According to the report, Apple will give Siri a big upgrade in iOS 9, turning its virtual assistant into an even more powerful tool for iOS users. These features are expected to launch along with the final version of iOS 9.

The company is also in talks to launch virtual SIMs in the US and Europe. Citing sources related to Apple, a Business Insider report now reveals that the company is planning to launch MVNO service in the US and Europe.

Apple is currently in talks with telcos in Europe, the report adds. Those not in the know how, a mobile virtual network operator service will allow technology companies to ‘lease space from established carriers’ and then sell it directly to customers.

Basically, users don’t have to pay Apple instead of their carrier as their billing cycle completes. So you will be paying Apple for data, calls, and texts. Apple will then provide users with everything that was available via the carrier. However, the Apple SIM can switch between carriers to ensure users get the best service.
