According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company’s large language model lacks a cloud processing component that provides new opportunities.
While some cloud-based AI features may be offered through Google’s Gemini or other providers, Apple is not likely to include its own ChatGPT-like chatbot directly in iOS 18.
Nevertheless, there are rumors that iOS 18 will have new generative AI features for various tools, such as Spotlight on iPhone, Siri, Safari, shortcuts, Apple Music, Messages, Health, Numbers, Pages, Keynote.
Apple will announce the software update at the annual WWDC developer conference, which is scheduled for June 10-14.
