Apple’s iOS 18 update is considered the biggest software upgrade since the original iOS software. iOS 18 will reportedly debut at WWDC 2024 on June 10 and many features, such as Siri, are going to be smarter, thanks to generative artificial intelligence. Now, just a few months before its launch, we have some interesting information about how the AI ​​features in iOS 18 might work.

according to his Power On newsletter At Bloomberg, Mark Gorman says the first set of AI features, or at least those developed by Apple rather than a third party in iOS 18, will run natively on the device. In the questions and answers section Gorman says;

As the world waits for Apple’s big AI reveal on June 10, it looks like the initial wave of features will run entirely on the device. That means there’s no cloud-processing component to the company’s big language model, the software that drives the new capabilities.

It’s unclear if existing iPhone models will be able to run the new AI features on the device or if it will require the next iPhone. Gorman further noted that some AI features may use cloud computing and third-party language models such as Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s GPT or Baidu’s AI.

It should be noted that Apple is in talks with the AI ​​developers mentioned above to bring generative AI tools to iOS 18. Although there is news that iOS 18 may not include Apple’s AI chatbot, it may incorporate Gemini or Another bot directly in iOS 18.

Allegedly, Apple’s apps and services, such as Siri, the Notes app, the Spotlight search tool, the Safari web browser, the Apple Music app and other first-party apps, could be loaded with AI capabilities. Apple’s assistant, Siri, may get artificial intelligence features that will help answer more complex questions and become smarter.

It remains to be seen which AI features will make their way to iOS 18. Aside from iOS 18, Apple may also look to debut watchOS 11, macOS 15, and other software upgrades as it sees fit.
