Apple started its worldwide developer conference (WWDC) with a focus on celebrating the fifth anniversary of Apple TV+. CEO Tim Cook set the stage for an exciting lineup of new originals coming to the streaming service. As a sizzle reel of upcoming films and series played, Cook emphasized the arrival of new content every week, showcasing popular shows like Severance, Pachinko, Slow Horses, and Silo, as well as new series like Presumed Innocent and Dark Matter. The reel also highlighted films such as Fly Me to the Moon, starring Scarlett Johanssen, Channing Tatum, and Woody Harrelson, and Wolfs, featuring Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
In addition to Apple TV+, Apple made a significant announcement regarding its entry into artificial intelligence (A.I.). The tech giant introduced a set of A.I. features for its devices and cloud services under the umbrella of Apple Intelligence. This move includes a major upgrade to Siri, the personal voice assistant, to align with the new capabilities. Privacy was a key theme in Apple’s A.I. strategy, ensuring that powerful intelligence is coupled with robust privacy protection for user data.
Furthermore, Apple revealed a partnership with ChatGPT creator OpenAI to provide more context and knowledge to users of Apple devices. Users can access ChatGPT via iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and MacOS Sequoia later this year. This collaboration underscores Apple’s commitment to enhancing user experiences through advanced A.I. technologies.
The event also included product news, such as a new version of the operating system for the Vision Pro headset, showcasing Apple’s ongoing innovation in spatial computing. The presentation is still ongoing, with more updates expected to follow.
