Though the Vision Pro debuted at last year\u2019s event, don\u2019t expect hardware to be the main attraction at <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/06\/04\/what-to-expect-from-wwdc-2024-ios-18-macos-15-and-so-much-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WWDC 2024<\/a>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/06\/03\/watch-apple-kick-off-wwdc-2024-right-here\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kicks off Monday at 10 a.m. PT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WWDC is for developers, and much of the focus will be on iOS 18. The Cupertino tech giant will showcase how it\u2019s chosen to integrate AI technology into its devices and software, including <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/openais-apple-deal-sparks-concerns-142258074.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">through a historic partnership with OpenAI<\/a>. As the big event nears, all sorts of leaks have emerged about what iOS 18 and its rumored AI-powered apps and features have in store.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the changes, Apple is said to be powering some of its new AI features with its <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/24\/05\/03\/siri-for-ios-18-to-gain-massive-ai-upgrade-via-apples-ajax-llm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ajax LLM<\/a>, including suggested email replies. Other reports indicate that Apple plans to process data from AI in a way that even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinformation.com\/articles\/apples-plan-to-protect-privacy-with-ai-putting-cloud-data-in-a-black-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employees won\u2019t be able to access<\/a>, which would help Apple continue to deliver on its promise of data privacy for its users.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below, we\u2019ll take a look at how Apple is said to be adding AI to its apps and services in the next big update for the iPhone, alongside other improvements and changes coming to iOS 18. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-siri-s-ai-enabled-future\">Siri\u2019s AI-enabled future<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Apple\u2019s digital assistant is prepared to get an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-05-30\/apple-ios-18-siri-ai-update-will-let-users-control-features-in-apps-with-voice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI revamp<\/a>. The digital assistant will leverage Apple\u2019s own large language models and will allow Siri to control individual features inside applications. This will work without any necessary setup by developers or users, like App Intents or Siri Shortcuts currently require. Instead, users will be able to ask Siri to do things like delete an email or edit a photo.<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Some of Siri\u2019s upgraded AI capabilities won\u2019t be ready until next year. For example, the ability for Siri to handle tasks with multiple steps is likely delayed.<\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">A more advanced Siri <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2024-05-26\/apple-ios-18-macos-15-ai-features-project-greymatter-privacy-openai-deal-lwni63s3?srnd=undefined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">will also come to <\/a>Apple Watch for on-the-go use.

It\u2019s unclear how this functionality will be presented to end users, though iMessage integration was spotted in the form of an app extension.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-safari-with-more-ai\">Safari with more AI<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">AI recaps of Safari web pages and news articles will be available through a new Intelligent Search feature.
