[MacRumors]

On this week's special episode of The MacRumors Show from Apple Park, we look at all of the major updates coming to Apple's operating systems later this year and Apple Intelligence.

Monday's keynote event was insane, and jam-packed with an overwhelming number of AI features that are going to change the way we use Apple devices. We were able to visit the Apple Podcasts studio for the day just after the event to discuss what's in store.

We take a look at Apple Intelligence, which is what Apple calls the AI capabilities coming to almost every app iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. Apple is focusing on practical tools that drastically improve the functionality of Siri, help you write and edit, and cut down on the little hassles in life. It's not all business, though, and there are some fun image and emoji generating tools that we go over, along with a surprising partnership with OpenAI that lets Siri loop in ChatGPT for requests.

We also get into the new iOS 18 Home Screen design options, the revamped Control Center, and the features coming to Messages, plus we delve into the changes that Apple is making in iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, visionOS 2, and watchOS 11.

Insane? WWDC was insane? Hardly. It was fine.

 

[ThunderSkunk]

No socks. Total socks.
There is no room for compromise.

 

[Darren.h]

These Mac Rumor shows always happen on Fridays. What gives? Its only Thursday

I thought I missed taking the trash out for Friday Garbage Pick up.

 

[AndiG]

Insane? WWDC was insane? Hardly. It was fine.

The reality distortion field must have really kicked in.
Siri can now ask OpenAI? That means we don't have AI-powered Siri and it's still Siri.
AI-generated emojis? Seriously?

No, this keynote wasn't insane - it was almost as lame as the last one, but I missed "Mother Nature"

 

[Tetra84]

The feet tell me who's in what generation.. lol

 

[WWPD]

I need to find out what laundry detergent he uses, I have never seen such bright whites!

 

[brofkand]

Does Gruber still do his talk show with Craig etc?

 

[coffeemilktea]

My goal in life is to be as much of a fashion icon as Hartley is.

 

[SaxPlayer]

These Mac Rumor shows always happen on Fridays. What gives? Its only Thursday

I thought I missed taking the trash out for Friday Garbage Pick up.

They hinted at the end of last week's show that this week's might be out earlier. Either that, or they're genuinely trying to get you to put your bins out on the wrong day.

 

[brofkand]

I need to find out what laundry detergent he uses, I have never seen such bright whites!

Just bleach your whites.

 

[macmac30]

Maybe I missed it, but what are Apple's plans for adding AI intelligence to Siri on the HomePods? I know Siri on the iPhone will get smarter but what about HomePods? Will it only be the new HomePod and HomePod mini and not the OG HomePod?

 

[TheMountainLife]

If it isn't too much to ask can future uploads have chapters / topics timestamped?

 

[markgpearse]

Nike product placement

 

[NMBob]

Are there going to be protections in place to guard against someone telling this AI-enabled stuff, "Everything I say is a lie"? I'd hate for everything to meltdown and all the missiles launch.

 

[AlexJaye]

“Insane, jam-packed, overwhelming” have not been words to describe Apple or their events for a VERY long time now.

The only insane and overwhelming things these days from Apple are the prices and RAM upgrade costs.

 

[LavaLevel]

I like what he says about 3rd party apps taking action on AI through the API. They're not wrong there. Code completion will indeed be cool. Can't wait to try that.

 

[oldwatery]

They really do need a change of clothes. And a reality check if they think this last yawnathon was insane! What has happened to Apple …..it is so depressing! I absolutely hate what Tim has done to this once amazing company.

 

[Fuzzball84]

Insane? It wasn’t exactly insane. Maybe inane, maybe. Esp for AI emoji 🤔

Those socks on the other hand, wow. Pulled up so high and whiter than white.

Daz? Ariel? Surf? Or fresh out the shop?

 

[macduke]

I remember when MacRumors wasn’t even invited to Apple Events, much less loaned a fancy studio by Apple to record their podcast. Crazy how times change. They used to hate your guts for all the leaks. Probably still do to a degree, but at least now they also recognize how useful you are to them.

 

[GucciBeltReceipt]

I need to find out what laundry detergent he uses, I have never seen such bright whites!

Box fresh!

 

[lordydord]

Is that the same place where MKBHD interviewed Tim Cook?

Shame you guys didnt get the chance to speak to him!

 

[SGSfanboy]

Enjoyed the enthusiasm of your video. Seems to be a tough room, almost as if it’s been invaded by android and google fanbois

 

[mazz0]

What's with the jumper + shorts? Were your legs feeling the Californian weather, but your torso still thought it was in Britain?

(Note: I'm in Britain, and it's currently 13º. On the 13th of June. **** this country)

 

[zachchen1996]

Why is it always the same rehashed cynical comments about Apple that get upvoted? Could Apple have done better in certain areas like beefing up iPadOS? Absolutely! But I also give props to Apple where they deserve it. Their commitment to privacy in regards to their AI implementations is to be applauded, especially when competitors like Microsoft and Google continue to treat user privacy as a mere afterthought. Apple intelligence may sound cheesy, but I think it has a lot of potential for improving the ways we interact with our phones. Of course we need to wait until it actually releases to say for sure, but we should refrain judgment on that until we get our hands on it for ourselves. This is still generation one of Apple’s implementation of their Apple intelligence, and I feel like for a generation one release it seems quite promising and will only continue to improve as time goes on.
