3CX has introduced several AI-driven and administrative updates to its telephony platform. In late September, the company released the V5.8 BETA for its iOS application, which integrates with Apple CallKit to provide real-time call translation using Apple Intelligence. This feature allows for translated subtitles or speech playback on compatible iPhones.

By mid-October, 3CX announced that V20 Update 10 had reached the Release Candidate stage. This update expands AI capabilities by introducing call transcription and analysis that can run locally on Apple Silicon Macs, intended to keep client conversations on company hardware. The update also provides administrators with enhanced control over IP phone firmware and custom templates, alongside improved credential access for the Windows Softphone via Google or Microsoft 365.
