WWDC 2024 is just weeks away and there’s no question that AI is going to be the main star of the show.
According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple will focus on delivering AI features with practical uses for users. In other words, don’t expect anything fancy or mind-blowing.
Gurman expects Apple to announce the following features:
- Photo retouching
- Voice memo transcription
- Suggested replies to emails and messages
- Auto-generated emojis based on the content of a user's messages, providing all-new emoji for any occasion beyond the existing catalog
- Improved Safari web search
- Faster and more reliable searches in Spotlight
- More natural interactions with Siri
- More advanced version of Siri designed for the Apple Watch, optimized for "on-the-go tasks"
- Smart recaps of missed notifications and individual messages, web-pages, news articles, documents, notes, and more
- Developer tools for Xcode.
Although Apple’s preference is for all AI processing to be done on-device, Gurman says that Apple will likely have to offload the more demanding features to the cloud.
Personally, I’m most excited about the voice memo transcription feature. This was something that I always felt the Voice Memo app was missing.
Lastly, Gurman says these features will likely be marketed as a “preview” to make it clear that the technology is still a work in progress.
