What to expect from WWDC 2024

The main highlight of WWDC 2024 is expected to be iOS 18, which is rumoured to be the biggest update to the iPhone in years, due to the addition of artificial intelligence (AI) features.

The company has been working on generative AI features for its devices for some time now. A few reports have suggested that Apple may partner with Google to use Gemini to boost the iPhone’s AI functionalities. The company will reportedly use Gemini or OpenAI to handle cloud-based AI features while retaining its generative features on-device.

The company is expected to introduce Gen AI features for the device and improve iMessage and Siri’s ability to auto-complete sentences and handle questions.

Apple is also expected to introduce other features such as auto-generated playlists based on the user’s mood, AI-assisted coding in Xcode, AI features for Keynote, Pages and more.

iPhone users will also get the ability to customise their home screen, including moving app icons around. Some of the features we will see in iOS 18 will also be introduced with the macOS 15 and iPadOS.
