Apple\u2019s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote is imminent<\/span>. The festivities kick off later today \u2014 Monday, June 10 at 1PM ET. The keynote address is available to the public and you can watch it via Apple\u2019s event website<\/span> or on the company\u2019s YouTube channel<\/span>. And if you don’t want to click away, the latter feed is embedded directly below.<\/p>\n [embedded content]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n This is WWDC, so it\u2019ll be a software-focused event<\/span>. Expect that Apple will showcase updates across its full panoply of operating systems, including iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, as well as watchOS, macOS and even visionOS, which is the operating system behind the Vision Pro headset.<\/span><\/p>\n But the big news is expected in the AI space, where Apple has has to elevate its games to compete with the likes of Microsoft and Google. To that end, per Bloomberg<\/em>\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/span>, Apple is expected to spend nearly half of the keynote’s running time touting a bevy of new AI initiatives, some of which are expected to be powered by a new partnership with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. If Gurman is right, and he usually is, we\u2019ll see Siri getting some long overdue AI upgrades, including the ability to issue commands inside specific apps.<\/p>\n As for software updates, it looks like iOS 18 will finally bring RCS support to Messages<\/span>. This messaging protocol offers end-to-end encryption and better media sharing. It\u2019ll also improve texting compatibility with Android devices. Rumors indicate that Apple Music may get an OpenAI-powered tool<\/span> that auto-generates playlists and Notes might get a voice-recording option. Other apps like Mail, Fitness and Health are expected to get new features, too. (Again, hit up that recent preview from Bloomberg<\/em>\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/span>, which is chock full of details.)<\/p>\n
