WWDC 2026 bonus live blog: Tech Talk with Craig Federighi

Apple announced its new "Apple Intelligence" system on June 10, 2024, integrating generative AI features across its operating systems. This initiative aims to provide users with more personalized and context-aware assistance, leveraging on-device processing for privacy and speed. The system will be available on iPhone 15 Pro and later, all M1 chip Macs and iPads and later, with a phased rollout beginning in the fall of 2024. Apple Intelligence will offer capabilities such as enhanced writing tools, image generation, and a more natural voice assistant. The company emphasized that user data will be protected through on-device processing for many tasks, with cloud-based processing for more complex requests handled by Apple's Private Cloud Compute. This system represents a significant shift for Apple, bringing advanced AI directly into its core product experience.
