Next week's Apple Worldwide Developers Conference promises to be a pivotal moment in the iPhone maker's history. The Cupertino tech giant will show how it has chosen to integrate artificial intelligence technology into its devices and software, including through a historic partnership with OpenAI. As the big event approaches, all kinds of leaks have emerged about what iOS 18 and its supposed ai-powered apps and features have in store.
Among the changes, Apple is said to be boosting some of its new artificial intelligence features with its ai-upgrade-via-apples-ajax-llm”>Ajax LLM. Other reports indicate that Apple plans to process ai data in a way that even ai-putting-cloud-data-in-a-black-box”>employees will not be able to accesswhich would help Apple continue to deliver on its data privacy promise to its users.
Next, we'll look at how Apple is said to be adding ai to its apps and services in the next big update for iPhone, along with other improvements and changes coming to iOS 18.
