Just today, Apple officially announced that it will officially hold its annual WWDC conference from June 10th to 14th Pacific time, Beijing time, when Apple's latest platforms, technologies and tools will be available. I believe that the content that everyone is most concerned about is naturally the latest operating system of each terminal, including iOS/iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, watchOS 18 and so on.
For so many fans, the changes in iOS 18 will naturally be a top priority, after all, many leaks say that Apple will add many innovative AI features and design changes to it, which looks at least a lot more significant than the upgrade changes in the past few years. Especially under the popularity of AI models this year, many domestic manufacturers have also released the latest AI mobile phones, which Apple can be said to be lagging behind a lot.
Therefore, after announcing the abandonment of the car manufacturing plan that has been in research and development for ten years, Apple has been fully committed to the AI business, and has arranged some of the core employees of the car manufacturing plan into the AI research and development plan. And just recently, it was reported that Apple is seeking cooperation negotiations with relevant service providers in the domestic market, including the well-known Baidu, which may use Baidu's artificial intelligence technology in the new iPhone version of the national bank to meet the relevant domestic regulations.
As for the design changes, iOS18 is also expected to redesign the layout of the desktop, especially the Home interface. Judging from the exposure information, the new iOS 18 may not be arranged in a perfectly aligned manner, and even the top can be left blank, allowing users to drag and drop apps or widgets on the screen wherever they want. Moreover, the UI style has become more skeuomorphic, increasing the overall visual three-dimensional sense, which has been well received by many users.
What are you looking forward to for WWDC 2024 and iOS 18 in June?
