iOS 18 operating system will be announced at WWDC in June with AI features, and it will be a huge update, maybe the biggest ever iOS upgrade.

That’s not just crazy hyperbole from the news media and social media … This really could be the biggest ever.

Let’s find out what this means for us as creators, and how we can best use these new iOS features.

First off, Google and Microsoft have owned the industry on new AI features, but the new iOS from Apple is a major leveling up in what Apple brings to the table.

“Apple’s head of software engineering, Craig Federighi, told employees last year that this iOS — codenamed Crystal — will have ambitious changes all around,” said Mark Gurman from Bloomberg.

Apple Pages could use new generative AI to be a writing assistant tool like ChatGPT.
