Apple to Announce ‘Apple Intelligence’ Opt-In AI Service at WWDC
Apple will announce its new AI feature set for Apple devices at WWDC on June 10, and Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman reports that it will be officially called “Apple Intelligence.”
There also will be a partnership with OpenAI that powers a ChatGPT-like chatbot. The opt-in AI capabilities will be coming to iOS 18, iPadOS 15, and macOS 15. The processing requirements of AI will mean that users need an iPhone 15 Pro or one of the iPhone 16 models coming out this year to use it. For those using iPads or Macs, models will need an M1 chip at least.
