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

Always love reading the MR comments.
You have the group that comes in only to shittalk when they dont even use Apple products. I can only guess they cant find a Huawei board with anyone commenting and then you have another group who always say "I never upgrade devices because they never add things worth upgrading for" then when something new is added they get angry that they need to upgrade their device to use it lol. Never stop, MR.

I know right. Spend that time drawing to replace it. Seemed wasteful. The drawing was better.

But I have no idea when I would ever do this in notes. Or want to.

This is my worry. I can decide, myself, not to use these features. But I'm worried other people will be lazy and start using this stuff en-masse, and we're going to be flooded with tons of AI-generated schlop instead of real human creativity.

I'd rather see one drawing created by an actual person than a thousand AI-generated drawings.

The keynote talks about how amazing this is and all I can think of is how much it's going to kill creativity. I mean, rewriting an E-mail? Why? Just rewrite it yourself and let it be yours instead of some machine generated garbage.

This is weak tea and disappointing. This is the kind of strategy that IBM was infamous for in its heyday: license, re-market, and then replace with a proprietary system later when it has its bureaucratic head out of its a$$ and figures out what to do. Apple must be really worried about looking like laggards in the face of products offered by Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and ChatGPT.

I don’t know about that.

What LLMs are actually capable of today and at the time iOS 18 drops is far beyond what Apple will let us do with its Apple Intelligence.

But the giving AI tools to the masses and integrating it with all the users info and content on their devices will make it easier to access for people that would otherwise never interact with it.

It’s better Apple plays it safe and makes sure users get as little bad output as possible before doing a massive rollout.

It can be just smaller on device LLM so i don't think they'll use any cloud compute for that

Maybe but then later they mentioned compose. (Stupid names). Which is ChatGPT.

I’d guess rewrite is basically the same but with context.

This might be the first event where I literally have to go out of my way to find the WWDC summary videos that the Verge and other channels post. MKBHD will hopefully break all this down for me cause I'm not watching this long event again lol.

Someone will have to break it down to mkbhdhdhe first tho

I'm getting old, I was completely overwhelmed by the amount of info that came out today and how fast it was coming.

I am old, almost 70. I've been paid to program for 50 years. I was underwhelmed. Most of what Apple announced was obvious (context for AI? wow, it's like someone read a 40-year-old AI textbook), derivative (proofreading and rewriting -- you mean how kids and professionals have been using LLMs for the last couple of years), represents diminishing returns for effort spent (rearranging and coloring icons on my phone), or downright no value (adding pictures of lizards riding surfboards in DMs).

Don't get me wrong. It all represents evolution and improvement of their software. No doubt, their system will be better, though it could also suffer from Apple trying to make it everything to everyone. It just wasn't impressive, as the drop in stock price verifies.

Must admit, the voice of Siri still sounded of. The voice of Kelsey Peterson sounded nicer. The thing Apple really should (and with ATV+ could) do is to get a couple of really good actors to coach Siri. I get the approach to keep it detached and more robotic, but «Sky» (despite some Uncanny Valley-ness) was the way to go.

Some nice features, not really sure how this is any different from recall in some instances though from a privacy concern standpoint?

Locking the phone features behind the a17 pro was a little weird to me too since the m1 is supported? Makes me think the limitation is not neural engine tops but RAM.

Yep. And to say “send the rewrite as a cover letter to a prospective employer “. Are you kidding? If I think it’s an AI email your resume goes into trash.

But AI is going to review your resume.
 
Probably the best summary available at this very moment:

Well, if you want to skip all the technical stuff and all the details.

But still most of the main points.

*I completely forgot about iPhone mirroring on macOS. Really looking forward to that.
 
Does anybody knows if “In Lock app” will be available on iPads too? It’s a shame I’m not able to share my iPad with my family
