Apple is gearing up to take its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to new heights with the introduction of iOS 18 and the upcoming iPhone 16 lineup. Recent reports and insights from TrendForce indicate that Cupertino has ambitious plans for AI integration in its products for the year 2024.
In its latest communication, the research firm sheds light on the expansion of AI servers this year. The market is projected to witness a 2.05% year-over-year increase with 13.654 million units. Notably, Supermicro, one of the key players in the AI server domain, is keen on intensifying efforts to secure AI orders from major clients, including Apple and Meta.
With Apple’s CEO Tim Cook hinting at forthcoming AI features, it appears evident that the tech giant is poised to elevate its AI initiatives by expanding its server infrastructure. Analyst Jeff Pu had previously suggested that Apple constructed hundreds of AI servers in 2023, with further expansion planned for the current year. Ming-Chi Kuo also estimated that Apple’s investment in AI servers for 2024 would amount to around $4.75 billion.
As the momentum builds, it is only a matter of time before Apple unveils the latest Artificial Intelligence features in iOS 18. Anticipation is high for the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024 keynote, where Apple is expected to showcase its advancements in AI technology.
During Apple’s recent annual shareholders meeting, CEO Tim Cook expressed the company’s commitment to “breaking new ground” in generative AI, anticipating transformative opportunities for users. Some of the potential AI features include:
- Auto-summarizing and auto-complete functions for core apps and productivity software like Pages and Keynote, in line with leaks from sources like yeux1122.
- Enhanced playlist creation in Apple Music.
- A comprehensive overhaul of Siri with a strong focus on AI capabilities.
- Introduction of code completion in a new version of Xcode, catering to developers.
- AppleCare tools designed to assist employees in troubleshooting, providing seamless customer support.
As Apple continues to push the boundaries of innovation, these AI features are poised to redefine the user experience across its ecosystem.
