Apple Intelligence may launch at WWDC 2024: What is it, how will it work
Apple Intelligence is the name of the new AI system that is set to be deeply integrated into iOS 18. It is expected to power the new operating system and make it more user-friendly.
Amid Apple’s preparations for WWDC 2024, which begins on June 10, the company is most likely to highlight its AI developments. With most rivals like Microsoft and Google declaring their intentions with artificial intelligence, Apple is expected to take the race to another level. At WWDC 2024, AI is expected to be the main player and the tech giant has apparently put a name to it as well. The new AI system that will be deeply integrated into the upcoming Apple devices will be called Apple Intelligence, as per the report. Bloomberg Report.
Apple Intelligence is expected to come in the new versions of iPhone, iPad and Mac operating systems. As per the developments, Apple may reveal the partnership with OpenAI and its integration with iOS 18 chatbots. Although nothing has been officially revealed yet, the company may bring Apple Intelligence with support to iOS 18.
Apple Intelligence: How Will It Work?
Apple Intelligence aims to integrate the technology into as many apps as possible to make users’ daily tasks easier. According to the report, Apple focuses on features with broad appeal. The AI features will be powered by OpenAI’s own technology and tools. Apple’s AI features will be powered by OpenAI’s own technology and tools. The services will rely on either on-device processing or cloud-based computing, depending on the complexity of the task at hand. The new operating system will include an algorithm to determine which approach should be taken for a particular task.
Since tying up with OpenAI also raises several security concerns, Apple has planned on this as well. It seems that Apple knew that once OpenAI takes control of the chatbot, they will not have much in their hands. The tech giant decided to make it an opt-in feature. This means that it gives users the control on whether they want to adopt it or not.
The role of AI with iOS 18 is to generate summaries. Apple is planning a feature that can quickly summarize articles and web pages in the Safari browser. The summarization tool will have the ability to summarize meeting notes, text messages, and emails.
Talking about Apple intelligence, it is not possible that Siri will not get new powers. Apple is planning to revamp the voice-assistant based on large language models, which is a core technology behind generative AI. Apple may also give Siri the power to control different apps for the first time.
The company is also expected to introduce AI-powered emojis. This means that the device will add more options than what is already in the emoji library. For example, if the user writes a word, the AI will be able to create a matching emoji, making it more fun.
WWDC 2024: Other features to be introduced
It is true that AI will be the main focus of Apple’s annual event, but there are many other software upgrades too. With iOS 18, Apple will bring many changes to the Home screen, Control Center, Settings app, Messages app, and many more.
The home screen is expected to get the biggest upgrade. Although this is not new for Android users, with iOS 18, Apple will allow users to customize the home screen by placing icons anywhere. At present, iOS is a control freak that wants to keep everything according to its own. But with the arrival of iOS 18, users can place the icons anywhere they want, even if they want to keep a little gap between them. Apart from this, users can also change the color of the icons. This means that users can make all their social media apps blue or finance-related icons green. Overall, it is considered to be the biggest upgrade to the home screen in the 17-year history of the iPhone.
Control Center is also getting a makeover, with shortcut buttons being rearranged and placed across multiple pages. There will also be a new music widget and an updated interface for controlling smart home appliances.
In short, iOS 18 will be completely based on personalization and customization. Apple is moving towards making iOS 18 more user-friendly with the help of Apple intelligence.
