Apple Bringing AI and Generative Features to iOS 18 to Make Siri Smarter, Improve Apps

Apple is planning to bring AI and Generative AI features to iOS 18 for iPhones.

Features could include smarter reply suggestions, AI playlists in Apple Music, and Generative AI for Apple's document creation apps.

Apple is working on making Siri smarter to compete with Google Assistant.

Apple may spend $1 billion annually on AI development and is deciding whether to process features on-device or via servers.

For developers, Xcode could get AI-powered advanced code completion like GitHub Copilot.
