Apple prepares iOS 18 for iPhones with focus on Gen-AI and more: Report

Apple is set to overhaul iOS for iPhone by integrating generative artificial intelligence at the operating system level. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, iOS 18 is going to be the biggest software update in iPhone history.

“I’m told that the new operating system is seen within the company as one of the biggest iOS updates — if not the biggest — in the company’s history,” noted Gurman in his weekly newsletter on Bloomberg.

According to Gurman, Apple is expected to incorporate generative AI into iOS 18 and that it “should improve how both Siri and the Messages app can field questions and auto-complete sentences.” The American tech giant has been exploring ways to add gen-AI features to other apps across its platform, such as Apple Music, Pages, Keynote, and more.
