The US-based tech giant Apple introduced its new products and software updates at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024. This year’s event focused on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, and Apple announced a series of innovative AI features for iOS 18 and visionOS 2 operating systems. These new features aim to further personalize user experience and enhance automation.
Apple Intelligence: New AI Platform
The event started with the introduction of a new AI platform called ‘Apple Intelligence.’ Apple emphasized that this platform would elevate its AI-based features to a higher level. The new features include prioritized notifications, advanced writing assistants, visual creation tools, and much more.
AI-Supported Notifications
Notifications will now be processed with AI support. This will allow a prioritization among the notifications received by iPhone users. For example, an urgent email or message will be shown before a less important notification.
Writing Assistant Feature
The new writing assistant feature will make it easier for users to write and will offer functions like text summarization. This assistant can be used in Mail, Notes, Safari, Pages, Keynote, and some third-party applications. Particularly in the Mail app, this writing assistant can also be used to create automatic responses.
Visual Creation with Artificial Intelligence
The ability to create visuals will be supported by an AI that can generate visuals appropriate to the users’ texts. These visuals can be easily shared on social media or other platforms.
Voice Commands Now More Advanced
Voice commands have also been improved. For example, users will be able to open files they received from a friend in the past using voice commands. This will provide great convenience, especially in hands-free situations.
Artificial Intelligence Features Coming with iOS 18 Will Operate Inside the Phone
AI features will also operate in compliance with security. All artificial intelligence features will be processed inside the iPhone, and data will not be stored on Apple servers. This once again highlights Apple’s commitment to data security and privacy.
Users in Messages App Can Create Their Own Emojis
Users in the messages app will be able to create any emoji they want. The feature called ‘Genmoji‘ will allow users to create unique emojis based on their text inputs.
Notes App Now More Capable
The Notes app will be equipped with AI-supported tools that will facilitate design and editing processes. Users will be able to take advantage of Apple’s AI technologies while designing.
Redesign of Siri
Finally, Apple’s personal assistant Siri will be completely redesigned with AI. This new Siri will appear before users with an unprecedented level of intelligence.
New Artificial Intelligence Features Will Not Work on Every iPhone
The new AI features will only be compatible with the latest iPhone models, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.
These innovations are seen as significant steps that reinforce Apple’s leadership in technology and software and will allow users to further personalize their everyday technology experiences.
