Apple WWDC 2024: What to Expect for Software and Hardware


The annual Worldwide Developers Conference starts Monday, June 10. Here are the new features, AI-powered and otherwise, potentially coming to your devices.

In his Power On newsletter late last month, Gurman reported that the updates are all part of a new strategy called Project Greymatter, which includes AI tools that Apple will inject into “core apps” like Photos, Safari, Messages, and Notes—including a smart recap feature that gives you summaries of things like individual texts, emails, notes, documents, and web pages. In a statement to the publication, Apple said it “[believes] RCS Universal Profile will offer a better interoperability experience when compared to SMS or MMS.” Essentially, this means iMessage features—like read receipts, reactions, typing indicators, high-resolution videos and photos, and more—will work across both iOS and Android. These capabilities include the ability to control the iPad with eye tracking, spoken shortcuts that assign custom utterances Siri can understand, and a feature that uses onscreen cues to reduce motion sickness for people looking at their device in a moving vehicle.
