At the upcoming WWDC 2024, Apple is expected to highlight several new AI-driven features. One of the most significant announcements anticipated is a major overhaul of Siri. The new version of Siri will be powered by generative AI, making it more conversational and capable of understanding a wider range of requests. This update aims to improve Siri’s functionality for tasks such as setting timers, creating reminders, and summarizing incoming text messages and notifications. Apple is focusing on enhancing Siri’s contextual understanding while ensuring user privacy by processing requests on-device rather than in the cloud​ (9to5Mac)​​ (9to5Mac)​.

Additionally, iOS 18 is expected to integrate numerous AI-powered features. These include improved accessibility options like Voice Shortcuts, which might work without the “Hey Siri” prompt, and Live Speech enhancements to assist users in communicating more effectively. The new OS will likely continue to support all devices currently running iOS 17​ (AppleInsider)​.
