Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
Apple's WWDC 2024 keynote focused heavily on AI, with the company positioning its late entry into the AI space as a deliberate strategy to prioritize user privacy. The new Apple Intelligence features and updated Siri AI will work across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro, including a dedicated Siri AI app with a ChatGPT-like chatbot experience and AI-powered camera and photo editing tools. Apple's core pitch is that its AI offers superior privacy compared to competitors, though the article questions how well this promise will hold up under scrutiny.
