WWDC

At WWDC today, Apple debuted Apple Intelligence, a suite of new features for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and more that covers things like text generation, an improved Siri, Genmoji, and more.

Image creation is one of the chief pillars of Apple Intelligence, and Apple calls it Image Playground. While you’ll be able to access the Image Playground tools from inside apps like Messages, Notes, and Keynote, Apple has also created a dedicated Image Playground app that’s coming this fall.

Today during its jam-packed WWDC keynote, Apple announced the release of iPadOS 18. This is the next major version of iPad software, and it will be available in a developer beta later today and free for all users this fall.

Here’s what iPadOS 18 brings to the iPad later this year.

Last year brought watchOS 10, one of the biggest updates for the Apple Watch yet. Today during the WWDC keynote, Apple announced the successor and this year’s major Watch release: watchOS 11.

watchOS 11 isn’t as feature-rich as its predecessor, but it does come with a number of useful improvements that will make your experience with the Apple Watch even better, especially focused on health and fitness.

Here’s what Apple’s latest Watch software will bring when it’s released this fall.

Today during its WWDC keynote, Apple announced a variety of updates coming to the Messages app in iOS 18.

One major new feature will enable using the Messages app even when you don’t have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

As it does every year, Apple is distributing some limited-edition swag to people in attendance at WWDC 2024. This year, the goodies include a special tote bag, water bottle, enamel pins, and more.

Sandwich Vision is kicking off WWDC week with a brand-new app launching on Apple Vision Pro. The studio is also collaborating with SpatialGen to livestream John Gruber’s The Talk Show Live in stereoscopically-captured 3D video using high-end cameras and lenses.

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in Cupertino kicks off tomorrow, and for a select group of Swift Student Challenge winners, the surprises have already begun.

This year Apple invited 50 Distinguished Swift Student Challenge winners to WWDC, and Tim Cook gave a surprise welcome to this special group of developers.

For an even smaller number of students, there was a once-in-a-lifetime experience unknowingly awaiting them: showing off their work to the CEO of Apple.

As we inch closer toward June, we’re getting a lot of questions from eager 9to5Mac readers about when Apple will officially announce WWDC 2024. After all, there are some big rumors about new AI features coming soon. Here’s what history tells us…

A next generation Siri version is set to be powered by a generative AI chatbot, with analysts expecting it to be launched with iOS 18, and announced at this year’s WWDC.

While Apple has been criticized for the way that Siri has lagged behind, a new report says that this is because the company is aiming to be far more ambitious than existing generative AI systems …

A leaker with a mixed track-record says that Apple will use this year’s WWDC to announce some new Siri generative AI capabilities.

The post is vague, stating only that it will “add more personalization and natural conversations to Siri,” with just a few other elements …
