Naturally, the entire chatter before the WWDC 2024 has been around the iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS and the watchOS. To make the iOS 18 more powerful, Apple has decided to collaborate with Open AI, Google and Anthropic for their chatbots in its OS. So far, Open AI is the only company with whom the company has reached an agreement and will be the first to amalgamate into the Apple ecosystem. Talks with Google regarding Gemini are also going on while there is uncertainty about the understanding between both Apple and Anthropic.
Some other major AI features like smart recap (similar to Microsoft’s Recall feature), Voice Memo Transcription and AI-generated emojis are also expected to land in the hands of IOS users. Apple has also promised to work on its talk-assistant feature Siri to make user transmission more sleaky.
