Apple WWDC 2024: On June 10, 2024, set a reminder on your calendars. With WWDC 2024 approaching, Apple is getting ready to unveil its much awaited AI ambitions. Apple is expected to include advanced AI capabilities into all of its products, including the Mac, iPad, and iPhone, through a billion-dollar agreement with OpenAI. Apple’s methodical approach to AI promises useful and inventive capabilities.
Expectations for WWDC 2024
Apple’s AI Strategy
It is anticipated that Apple will reveal a significant partnership with OpenAI in order to integrate ChatGPT-like features into its ecosystem. This collaboration will greatly improve Apple’s AI capabilities and may bring in a sizable sum of money for OpenAI. The new AI functionalities, referred to as “Apple Intelligence,” will be rolled out across all of Apple’s platforms and applications.
Siri’s Major Overhaul
Siri is expected to have more influence over applications thanks to AI, allowing users to provide voice instructions for increasingly complicated tasks. This huge upgrade is set to increase Siri’s usefulness and attractiveness.
Enhanced Software Features Across Apple Devices
iOS 18
iOS 18 is expected to place a lot of emphasis on customisation. Users will be able to rearrange and modify the colours of app icons. A significant revamp of the Settings app is anticipated, with improved search features, a better organised UI, and cleaner styling. Better controls for smart home appliances and a new music widget are among the enhancements to be expected for the Control Centre.
iPadOS 18 and macOS 15
It is anticipated that Apple will eventually release a calculator software just for iPad and Mac users. The System Settings app might undergo a change in macOS 15 to better match iOS releases. The goal of these improvements is to make using Apple’s desktop and mobile platforms more seamless.
Revamped Apps: Messages, Photos and Mail
Messages App: Animated Text and New Tapbacks
It is expected that the Messages app will get additional Tapback icons, which will increase the number of response emojis available, as well as the ability to animate specific phrases in text messages. Messaging will become more expressive and lively with these features.
Photos App: Streamlined Browsing and Editing
It’s anticipated that the Photos app will get a UI redesign to improve the ease of photo viewing and editing. Users will find it easier to manage their photo collections with this upgrade.
Mail App: Enhanced Functionality
Mail app is expected to undergo a number of enhancements to improve both its simplicity and usefulness. Email management will become more productive and efficient with these upgrades.
New Passwords App
According to Bloomberg, Apple is anticipated to provide a specialised “Passwords” application, offering a substitute for well-known password organisers such as LastPass and 1Password. With support for autofill, password creation, and authentication codes, this software will assist users in managing their login credentials. With compatibility for Windows, the software might be accessible on iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15.
Privacy and Security
According to media reports, an algorithm will be used by Apple’s AI features to decide whether tasks should be forwarded to a cloud server or completed locally on devices. Data centres will employ the M2 chip to enable safe distant data processing. Apple will release reports verifying that customer data isn’t being accessed or sold in order to ease privacy worries.
