iOS 18 is already expected to rely heavily on AI. Still‚ the iPhone operating system won't be the only software to use this technology. According to BuyAiDomains‚ Apple just secured the iWork.ai domain‚ teasing that its iWork suit might get a revival with an Artificial Intelligence focus soon. The publication highlights that the iWork.ai domain was recently made available‚ and Apple acquired it. Still‚ trying to open the webpage goes nowhere. In addition‚ it's always possible that the company bought the domain to prevent bad actors from using this page for phishing once it unveiled some of its new AI capabilities during WWDC 2024. In the early 2000s and the beginning of 2010s‚ Apple used to promote its two big suites: iLife and iWork. Over time‚ the company abandoned these names and focused on the iCloud brand. Even though the iWork suite apps are still updated‚ the company has yet to bring a revamp to them. Siri on the Vision Pro headset. Image source: Apple Inc. These are some of the Apple AI features expected for WWDC 2024 Among the new iWork AI features are auto-summarizing and auto-complete. These were first reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The journalist thinks Apple is bringing these capabilities for core apps and productivity software. In addition‚ iOS 18 will focus on AI in the following topics: Better playlist creation in Apple Music Siri (a big overall overhaul with a focus on AI) Code completion in a new version of Xcode for developers AppleCare tools to assist employees in helping customers with troubleshooting What could corroborate the iWork AI coming is Apple's CEO himself. During Apple’s first earnings call of the year‚ Tim Cook did not mention any software by name. But he did address AI twice‚ teasing the upcoming announcements. He did it once during his remarks‚ right after reminding those on the call about the Vision Pro launch. Cook said Apple will spend a “tremendous amount of time and effort” on AI‚ with details coming later this year. I hope Apple adds these AI functions Image source: José Adorno for BGR Circle to Search is one of the AI features I hope Apple adds to the iPhone and other products. I already wrote how Google could implement this Samsung Galaxy feature for iPhone users. Still‚ I think Apple could use some of its built-in features to make an even better application. In addition‚ I love how fast the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is in some Siri queries since it relies a lot on on-device processing. Ultimately‚ I believe AI is all about context and understanding. If Apple's assistant can get a huge boost on these matters – and everything points out that it is –Cupertino could compete against OpenAI‚ Google‚ and Microsoft for the perfect experience. My top feature requests are summarizing stories‚ getting relevant information from queries‚ and improving my workflow with on-device processing. Also‚ a new iOS 18 concept basically described what I want for this next operating system update. Wrap up As you can see‚ it's not just iWork that is getting an AI revamp‚ but iOS 18 and several other Apple products will likely get the Artificial Intelligence boost we expect. BGR will keep reporting on Apple's AI efforts. Below‚ you can learn more about iOS 18.

The Apple Vision Pro was released just over a week ago‚ and I would've gotten mine by now if it were available in Europe. Well‚ I still could buy one from a scalper for a relatively low markup. The big caveat of owning a Vision Pro made for the US market is that it won't work elsewhere unless you have an Apple ID set to the US.  I will‚ however‚ get the Vision Pro the second it's officially available in Europe. Even if it's not perfect and even if Apple still has a lot of work to do. On that note‚ a new report from Mark Gurman stresses just how far Apple has to go before the Vision Pro gets really good. Apple is reportedly aware of all the issues. According to Gurman's report‚ the Vision Products Group believes it'll need four generations to truly get the Vision Pro to where it needs to be. I won't wait that long to get started on the spatial computer experience that might shape Apple's entire future. Gurman detailed his experience with the Vision Pro in the Power On newsletter for Bloomberg. He explained the good things about the spatial computer but also the things that Apple has to iron out. The Vision Pro's weight‚ the visionOS experience‚ and the lack of apps are some of the things that Apple has to fix.  It's in this context that the Bloomberg reporter provided the tidbit about the Vision Products Group. That's the Apple team working on the headset. Some of those engineers think the Vision Pro will need four generations before it reaches its ideal form. That's "similar to the progression of the iPhone‚ iPad‚ and Apple Watch." It's unclear what that ideal form is‚ however. Hardware or software. The comment came in response to the software experience‚ which Gurman says is plagued by bugs and issues. "At this point‚ it feels like the software is a beta version and about a year away from feeling refined enough for consumers to use on a day-to-day basis‚" he said. A Vision Pro user looking at various open apps. Image source: Apple Inc. I'm not surprised the software might be buggy. Also‚ I think that it'll take time for the Vision Pro's purpose to become clear. Apple needs input from users and developers on what the Vision Pro would be best for. And on how to improve the experience. Just like the Apple Watch‚ which needed years for Apple to focus on the health and fitness experience.  However‚ I don't think one should wait that long to get a Vision Pro computer if the budget allows it. First‚ there's no telling how frequently the hardware updates will come. Apple releases new iPhones and Apple Watches every year. As for the iPad‚ 2023 was an exception‚ as we had no product refreshes.  We might not get a new Vision Pro until sometime in 2025. If Apple settles for a two-year upgrade cycle‚ the fourth-gen Vision Pro will hit stores only at some point in the early 2030s. I am speculating‚ of course. And it's all based on what Vision Pro engineers reportedly believe about the Vision Pro roadmap.  Secondly‚ I want to get used to Vision Pro computing as early as possible. It'll take time to get used to interacting with the spatial computer via eye and hand coordination.  Apple Vision Pro with protective cover. Image source: Jonathan S. Geller Without having tested it‚ I think that using eyes and hands to control the Vision Pro might be faster than traditional mouse-and-keyboard setups. But‚ after seeing the reviews‚ including Gurman's take‚ I realize it'll be a process of teaching yourself to interact with the spatial computer and maintain focus on what you're doing. You'll have to master that before getting a faster experience than the Mac or iPhone/iPad. Thirdly‚ unlike Gurman‚ I think that the Vision Pro is the first step towards iPhone computing. That a more distant successor of the Vision Pro could take the shape of AR glasses. They will work with the iPhone in my pocket. When that happens‚ I'll want to already be proficient in controling a spatial computer with my eyes and hands as fast as possible. Finally‚ my day job is reporting on Apple products. I got the first-gen Apple Watch and iPad because I needed to experience them in day-to-day life. I'll have to do the same thing with the Vision Pro‚ even if it'll be a more expensive purchase than those other first-gen devices. I want to experience the Vision Pro software and hardware evolution and maybe even help Apple improve it via the feedback I'll provide.
