Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next week promises to be a pivotal moment in the company’s history as Cupertino will reveal how it plans to integrate AI technology into its operating systems, software, and devices, including through a historic partnership with OpenAI.
As the big event nears, all sorts of leaks have emerged about what iOS 18 and its rumored AI-powered apps and features have in store.
Among the changes, Apple is said to be powering some of its new AI features with its Ajax LLM. Other reports indicate that Apple plans to process data from AI in a way that even employees won’t be able to access, which would help Apple continue to deliver on its promise of data privacy for its users.
Apple’s digital assistant is prepared to get an AI revamp. The digital assistant will leverage Apple’s own large language models and will allow Siri to control individual features inside applications… A more advanced Siri will also come to Apple Watch for on-the-go use. You could use Siri on your Watch to play music on another device, one report said.
Generative AI emojis will be supported [in Messages], letting users create their own emojis with technology.

[W]e’ve been wanting [an iPhone or iPad to automatically generate Memoji for users] from the start as, despite our best efforts, some of our Memoji end up only vaguely reminiscent of the person they’re supposed to represent*.

I am excited about this in levels that trend in negative numbers. Nobody asked for it, Apple used to dictate the trends, not follow them, and I could care less. My only hope for this event is that users have the ability to turn it off. Really. Who cares? In a few years the answer will be, ‘None of us.’. Be better, Apple. 🙄🙄
explain more what you mean. Im interested in your warning just not what sure I need to warned about. Rouge AI or Apple harvesting user data ?
Apple needs to be bold with AI, to reimagine the interaction people have with their smartphones, not just add some AI features here and there.
The rumors make it sound like they’re just adding some AI features here and there.
Let’s be honest, when was the last time Apple was bold with ANY of their software? Given the unpredictable nature of AI and opportunities for embarrassment for Apple, we’re guaranteed that they will play it as safe as humanly possible. Imagine a playground covered in padding, padded guardrails, padded straightjackets and everyone attached to zip lines so you can never fall and scrape your knee. If the latest ChatGPT has to offer is a 10, Apple will dial it back to 3.5.
