WWDC 2024 Apple Event Live Keynote Coverage: iOS 18, Apple's AI Push, and More

[KPOM]

iphone 15 pro or later? That’s cold Apple.

But happy because I have M1 Macs (Studio) and an M1 ipad pro (phew, just made it!)

Probably the basic iPhone 16, as well. The A17 series has a significantly improved NPU over the A16.

Did they mention updates to CarPlay and I missed it, or did they skip it entirely?

Nothing on CarPlay either. Thanks for the reminder.

I’m still a quite confused as to how all this will be surfaced from a UI standpoint. Toolbars and menus or will a lot of it be hidden behind long press? And is Siri deciding when it offers up ChatGPT or will it always be an option?

Siri will explicitly ask if you want to use ChatGPT and willing to share data. You dont have to use it.

did i hear this right, that the AI features are only for iPhone 15 Pro ?

Yyyyyyyup. That's what the man said.

 

[GregJohn]

A little sad AI testing doesn’t start today - Im Assuming it will just pop up in one of the betas

 

[zantafio]

SO basically apple did nothing once again. Recently, it is either failed project which wasted years of time and money or bring someone else's work. ZERO innovation at apple once again.

this comment aged like old milk in less than one hour....

Will Apple Intelligence be free for all? Hope they don't create another add-on subscription to iCloud or rather Apple One. I'm thinking, the "Private Cloud Compute" would definitely cost $$$.

Yup, that's how I understand it.

Ok, i have M1 Air, 16 gig model, that should be enough ...🫣

 

[JordanCautious]

Why would you expect macOS on the iPad? They have repeatedly said they aren’t going to do it.

I'm not expecting it. I'm wishing for it. I'm a iPad Pro power user. And I hate iPadOS. Other than gaming, there is literally not a reason for me to upgrade from my 12.9" M1 outside of maybe a bigger screen that's been rumored. And that's me as a power user!

 

[alexandr]

Was there a single mention of hardware requirements or hardware that can be upgraded to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, or macOS 15 Sequoia?

Do the usually mention these at presentations? The device list will appear on the site.

 

[Rogifan]

I do wonder exactly what Wall Street was expecting. Would the stock be up right now if Apple Intelligence was part of an Apple One subscription?

 

[currentinterest]

I am beyond excited. Apple Intelligence is so much better than I expected.

I’m just glad Tim came down from the roof… he had me worried. Glad he’s back on the ground 😆

I really don't think Cook is ever on the ground, regardless of his physical location.

Yep. Prefer it seamless. Not should I check with ChatGPT?

Apple tends to only highlight new features, instead of discussing everything used currently so we have to wait to see if that got changed with the betas.

 

[KPOM]

I like the ‘AI for the rest of us’ tagline. Apple should focus on things that are useful to the most people. I feel like that’s what they showed off today. I think it was a good WWDC but I wish iPad OS got more love.

I noticed they brought back that tagline from the original Mac, as well. That seems to be the focus. If they make it easy to use the things that are actually useful, and improve the consistency, that’s a win. One of the biggest issues with generative AI is its inconsistency.

 

[TechnoMonk]

Probably more updates during the WWDC, this was the main event, and usually don't include car play.

Check the box for Siri never to ask me this. Just do it.

 

[TImm3h]

They said the word "privacy" so many times. I am not sure I believe them.

Thats why we got 10min talk about Emoji -.-

 

[SmugMaverick]

What a load of utter tripe.

So basically Siri will still suck and you'll need to ask chatgpt, otherwise they wouldn't put the choice in the OS.

Genmoji is just.... give me strength

photos app is an utter abomination and PROOF the designers have all left apple.

No AI for anyone with 6GB or RAM, but but but iPhone don't need it because iOS is so smooothzzzz

 

[Ghengis LeMond]

AAPL off 2% and -3.90 since pitch kicked off.

 

[CausticSoda]

I'm not expecting suits and ties and I am not into fashion but... Why are all the presenters so poorly dressed? No doubt in reality they spend a fortune on this stuff and obsess over every detail, but I thought they all looked terrible.

I’m not even talking about ChatGPT. There’s a lot of Apple Intelligence that has nothing to do with ChatGPT. But I am curious how it will work with Siri. Does Siri decide if it can assist and if it doesn’t think it can it asks you if you want to use ChatGPT? Or does Siri always give you the option to get results from ChatGPT (assuming you opted in)?
