Apple Likely to Debut ‘Apple Intelligence’ AI System at WWDC 2024
Jun. 7, 2024Apple’s AI approach will involve integrating the technology into as many apps and features as possible. We already know that rather than image and video generation technology, Apple is focusing onAI tools that can ease the daily lives of its users.
The new AI capabilities will be opt-in, meaning Apple won’t push users to adopt them if they don’t want to. That said, not all users will have access to the new AI features. As a processing requirement of AI, users must own an iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, or one of the iPhone 16 models coming later this year.

Apple’s AI features will be powered by its own technology and tools from OpenAI. Also, Apple will be seen partnering with OpenAI which powers a ChatGPT-like chatbot for Apple devices.
Apple Intelligence will work mostly on-device and is expected to handle basic AI tasks. This means, Apple’s AI model is powered by the device’s onboard processor and not the cloud. At the moment, there’s no clue what would be the criteria for a basic task, but Apple Intelligence is reported to have a code that determines if a request can be processed on the device or should be passed on to Apple’s servers.
Some of the most rumored and expected new AI-related features and changes for iPhones, iPads, and Macs are:
