NEWS HEADLINE; APPLE IS NOW SENDING WWDC 2024 INVITES WHERE WE’LL SEE iOS 18 WITH AI.

Apple is hosting its annual developers conference (WWDC) on June 10, and today, it began sending out invites. The company reiterated known details: the event will be held at Apple Park and will start at 10 AM local time (PDT).

The conference is expected to introduce iOS 18 and showcase how Apple plans to integrate AI into its devices. We will also learn about the upcoming MacOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and Vision OS versions.

Some devices will feature generative AI, as Apple has confirmed that the M4-powered iPad Air and iPad Pro tablets will have enhanced machine-learning capabilities for AI-based tasks.

Anticipation surrounds iOS 18, touted as “one of the biggest overhauls in iOS history,” although Apple often dramatizes its updates. Nevertheless, Safari, Photos, and Notes are expected to be AI-powered, along with enhanced Siri and smart recap notifications.

Despite rumors of collaborating with OpenAI to implement ChatGPT in iOS 18, Apple will likely pursue an in-house approach, focusing on heavy on-device processing supported by its data centers.
