What to expect from Apple’s AI-powered iOS 18 at WWDC 2024

07.06.2024

 

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next week promises to be a significant milestone in the iPhone maker’s history. While the Vision Pro debuted at last year’s event, hardware won’t be the main focus at WWDC 2024, which kicks off Monday at 10 a.m. PT.

WWDC is aimed at developers, and much of the focus will be on iOS 18. The Cupertino tech giant will showcase how it has chosen to integrate AI technology into its devices and software, including through a historic partnership with OpenAI. As the big event nears, numerous leaks have surfaced about what iOS 18 and its rumored AI-powered apps and features have in store.

Among the changes, Apple is reportedly using its Ajax LLM to power some of its new AI features, such as suggested email replies. Additionally, there are reports that Apple plans to process AI data in a way that even employees won’t be able to access, which would help the company uphold its promise of data privacy for users.
