In a research note on Wednesday, Pu said his supply chain checks suggest that Apple is likely to build a few hundred AI servers in 2023, and significantly more next year. He believes Apple will offer a combination of cloud-based AI and so-called “edge AI,” which involves more on-device data processing. He added that patience will be required with Apple’s rollout of generative AI, as the company considers how to use and process personal data in a way that aligns with its commitment to customer privacy.
If met, the late 2024 timeframe would mean that Apple could begin rolling out generative AI features starting with iOS 18 and iPadOS 18…
“We’ve been working on generative AI for years and have done a lot of research,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook, in an interview with Forbes last month. “And we’re going to approach it really thoughtfully and think about it deeply, because we’re fully aware of the not-good uses that it can have, and the issues around bias and hallucination and so forth.”
MacDailyNews Take: In July, Bloomberg News‘ Mark Gurman reported that Apple is prepping generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools that could challenge those of OpenAI’s ChapGPT, Alphabet’s Bard, and others.

You know, this move to introduce generative it into its iPhone and iPad lineup is a game changer. This means leveraging AI technology to enable devices to autonomously generate content, possibly including mass bulk image generation. Similar to how Google’S enhances search by creating images, this breakthrough can empower users to effortlessly create or manipulate multiple images through their Apple devices. Integrating generative AI into iPhones and iPads could revolutionize content creation, making it more accessible and efficient for users, just as such tool has transformed various aspects of digital experiences across different platforms.
