Gurman reveals Apple’s product launch and software plans for the coming months،
With Apple's Vision Pro now available for pre-order, it's natural to wonder what other surprises Apple has in store for 2024. When asked about the company's potential plans after the release of its headset, Bloomberg Marc Gurman revealed everything we can expect from the company in the near future.
To comply with European Union requirements, Apple will introduce changes to iOS. The Digital Markets Act will prohibit Apple, along with Alphabet, Amazon, ByteDance, Meta and Microsoft, from reigning in their power.
Gurman says that in the weeks leading up to March 7, when the DMA goes into effect, we can expect to hear about changes to the App Store, including opening up access to the payment chip for Apple devices to other mobile devices. wallet providers and adding third-party billing options.
Apple is also expected to announce a series of new products in the spring. The company could announce two new iPads: new iPad Airs, including a model with a larger screen, and revised iPad Pros. In addition to this, the company could also unveil M3-powered MacBook Airs.
In June, the company will hold the Worldwide Developers Conference, where it will announce iOS 18, which is expected to be revolutionary, as well as new generative AI features on Siri.
Gurman previously highlighted the fact that Apple is years behind competitors like Samsung, Google and Microsoft when it comes to generative artificial intelligence.
Apple's AI offerings are said to be based on a language model called Ajax. We could see AI-powered features like summary and autocomplete for core enterprise applications, and we could integrate AI into other services as well.
Google and Samsung's latest phones are heavily AI-focused, with the latter so confident in its AI-based tools that it might start charging for them after a few years.
