Highlights Apple partners with OpenAI to power AI features in iOS 18 Potential collaboration with Google for Gemini as an alternative AI solution New AI features to be previewed at WWDC and launched with iPhone 16 AI capabilities include transcribing memos, retouching photos, enhancing search, and upgrading Siri Apple seems to have finally decided on using OpenAI's technology to power AI features in iOS 18, its upcoming software update for iPhones. This news has been confirmed by a recent report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who states that the deal with OpenAI could be a significant component of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next month. OpenAI to Power Apple AI Apple partners with OpenAI to power AI features in iOS 18 The report further says that Apple is also working on an agreement with Google to provide Gemini as an alternative AI solution. Barring nothing, Apple is going to be one of the biggest players in the AI space with its huge user base when the new features see the light of day with iOS 18. Partnering with OpenAI for the AI features of iOS 18 will probably give Apple a competitive edge against Samsung, relying solely on Google's Gemini AI to run advanced features on the Galaxy S24 lineup. AI capabilities include transcribing memos, retouching photos, enhancing search, and upgrading Siri Gurman suggests that these new AI features might at first be marketed as a \"preview\" in the developer beta version of iOS 18. Apple could then launch a stable version of these features alongside the iPhone 16 in September. So, how will Apple's AI features differ from those offered by Samsung and Google? A Clearer Picture at WWDC Potential collaboration with Google for Gemini as an alternative AI solution At the WWDC event in June, Apple is expected to introduce a range of AI features, including capabilities for transcribing memos, retouching photos, enhancing search functionality, and upgrades to Siri, the company's virtual assistant. Beyond iOS 18, Apple is said to bring AI features to macOS and iPadOS. Supposedly, these operating systems will feature software that determines whether a particular task should be run on the device itself or via the cloud. New AI features to be previewed at WWDC and launched with iPhone 16 On-device AI, however, comes with its own set of advantages: privacy, the ability to function offline or in areas that have poor internet connectivity, and potentially reduced response time. On-device large language models, on the other hand, do not have the massive servers or billions of parameters behind them—those are reserved for most commercial chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini—and in some cases, could potentially be less powerful or knowledgeable in capability. WWDC event in June, Apple is expected to introduce a range of AI features If Apple is using the cloud-based LLM for its iOS 18 AI features, then the tech company faces a challenge of maintaining its privacy-focused image. According to Gurman, Apple will likely talk up the fact that it won't be building user profiles in the same way as Google or Meta. FAQs What AI technology is Apple using for iOS 18?
