Apple is preparing to take on industry heavyweights like OpenAI and Google by releasing its hardware line and AI tools. At the WWDC 2024 keynote, which the company presents on 10 June, Tim Cook and his team will unveil the first-generation AI features that the iPhone and other Apple products will offer later this year, and iOS 18 is expected to be one of them. With this statement, Apple is taking a big step towards integrating advanced AI capabilities throughout its ecosystem and focusing more on AI technologies. Through more complex interactions with Siri, more capabilities for editing photos and videos, and more intelligent tracking of fitness and Health, the new AI technologies are anticipated to improve user experience.

Furthermore, there are rumours that Apple will launch hardware—like upgraded neural engines or new chipsets—specifically engineered to maximise AI performance. With this calculated action, Apple sets itself up to stay ahead of the competition and lead the way in incorporating AI into consumer electronics. The forthcoming presentation is expected to be a historic occasion, presenting Apple’s strategies for utilising AI to transform the intelligence and usefulness of its products and reaffirming the company’s dedication to creativity and user-centered design.
Siri to Gain from the AI Enhancements
Summary of text, material, and other elements is one of the most common applications of AI that has emerged recently. According to a recent Bloomberg article, Siri will gain the most from the iOS 18 AI enhancements since it will acquire additional capabilities and a conversational tone. Additionally, Apple and OpenAI are negotiating an agreement to make ChatGPT available to iPhone customers; Cook and the company could confirm this at next month’s keynote.
Apps that may Receive New Design due to iOS 18 AI Integration
It is anticipated that Siri will provide more conversational and context-aware responses, resulting in more seamless and intuitive interactions. Contextual emoji suggestions and intelligent organisation will be added to the Photos app, and smart answers and improved editing capabilities will be added to Messages. Priority sorting and sophisticated spam and phishing detection will be available in the Mail app. Maps will include augmented reality instructions and predictive navigation, while the Camera app will use AI for scene detection and real-time improvements.
Notes will be intelligently organised with suggested material, and Health will offer personalised insights and predictive alarms. Context-aware reminders will be improved, and music will feature customised playlists and enhanced search features. These developments will improve the entire iOS experience by making these apps more robust and intuitive.

Apple has set up data centers powered by Apple Silicon chips to push its AI functionalities on-device, which is a privacy boon. Apple’s focus and product details are unlikely to be impressive, as the company has been doing business slowly and ensuring safety checks before coming out with its AI resources to the public. Most of you would expect the company to blow the trumpet to OpenAI and Google.
Significant AI hardware advancements are already in the works, as seen by the recently released iPad Pro 2024 versions with M4 processors. The iPhone 16 Pros and Macs will shortly receive updates to enable these forthcoming AI features.
