WWDC 2024 Apple Event Live Streaming Details: How to watch and what to expect from ‘Apple Intelligence’ unveil event
The highly anticipated Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) for 2024 is underway at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. Here, Apple is set to unveil its latest advancements in operating systems for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and beyond, possibly integrating groundbreaking AI technologies.
This year’s focal point is expected to be generative artificial intelligence (AI), with Apple presenting a glimpse into the future with its upcoming Gen-AI-powered tools across various Apple products.
WWDC 24 will be a hybrid event, hosting a select audience of media, analysts, and developers in person, while also being accessible via live streaming on YouTube, X, and Apple’s official website. The event kicks off at 10:30 PM IST and is anticipated to extend beyond an hour, during which Apple will showcase forthcoming updates like iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, among others, with a significant emphasis on their new AI capabilities.
Reports suggest that Apple may brand its AI features as “Apple Intelligence,” potentially revitalizing Siri with conversational capabilities akin to ChatGPT. Additionally, first-party apps like Notes, Music, and Voice Memo are expected to receive boosts from generative AI advancements.
Differentiating between devices and services, some may leverage on-device AI experiences through neural processing units (NPUs), while others may rely on cloud-based inferencing. Collaborating with OpenAI, Apple aims to enrich iPhones with AI experiences, while also introducing tools like AI-supported Xcode to aid developers in crafting AI-infused apps and games.
Speculations hint that the full spectrum of new AI features may be exclusive to select devices, possibly limited to the iPhone 15 Pro series. For iPads and Macs, devices featuring the M1 chip or newer iterations may benefit from “Apple Intelligence.”
Following the event, Apple is anticipated to release early software versions for developers, facilitating optimization of apps and services for the impending updates.
