ALBAWABA – Apple just held its highly anticipated WWDC24 event, showcasing the upcoming iOS 18 with a slew of customization features akin to Android and a new AI integration with OpenAI’s models.

Apple kicked its iOS 18 presentation with casual updates ranging from color-changeable home screen icons, new iMessage features and a fully redesigned Photos app before the conversation later being switched to “Apple Intelligence,” the California based company’s take on the generative AI growing market.

CEO Tim Cook said “Our unique approach combines generative AI with a user’s personal context to deliver truly helpful intelligence. And it can access that information in a completely private and secure way to help users do the things that matter most to them,” as he announces the new features coming to M1 chip powered devices.
