iOS 18 is about to launch with many powerful AI features, Apple is ambitious to make a breakthrough in the artificial intelligence race.
Apple is said to be rushing to complete revolutionary features for iOS 18 , the next operating system version for the iPhone. So when will this platform reach users? As expected, iOS 18 will be officially launched in September 2024, after being introduced at Apple 's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) on June 10.
iOS 18 is expected to launch in September this year.
One of the highlights of iOS 18 is the strong integration of AI. According to multiple sources, Apple is collaborating with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, to bring advanced AI experiences to iPhone users.
Integrating AI into iOS 18 is expected to help Apple catch up with rival Samsung , which introduced Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S24 earlier this year. Apple CEO Tim Cook also expressed confidence that Apple has a competitive advantage in the field of AI and will "resonate" in the near future.
Besides, one of the reasons why Apple just announced the M4 chip earlier than expected is because this chip has a more powerful neural processor, designed to work well with AI. The M4 chip will be available on the new iPad Pro line from May 15.
However, partnering with OpenAI comes with its own challenges, especially around data privacy. Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT require too much processing resources, making it difficult to do everything on the device. As a result, Apple will likely operate some of its upcoming artificial intelligence features through data centers equipped with its own processors.
