Tim Cook: ChatGPT in iOS 18 before the end of the year

iOS 18 will include ChatGPT integration by the end of 2024, according to Apple CEO Tim Cook. During Apple's Q3 2024 earnings call on August 1, Cook was asked if Apple Intelligence features were likely to launch simultaneously or if there would be a gradual release. Apple's CEO confirmed that features such as support for languages outside of US English "will happen over the course of the year" as part of a staggered rollout.

He also confirmed that ChatGPT integration would be available by the end of 2024. One of the biggest announcements was that Siri would include integration with OpenAI's ChatGPT. If Siri is asked a question that she can't answer, you'll be given the option to ask ChatGPT instead.

Apple gave examples of getting recipe ideas based on a list of ingredients and getting suggestions for plants that would be suitable for an outdoor deck based on a photo of the deck. You can also ask questions about documents, use ChatGPT to generate text as a bedtime story, and even generate images using ChatGPT. The best part is that you get access to ChatGPT for free without having to create an account. ChatGPT subscribers can link their accounts to access paid ChatGPT features within iOS.

Some Apple Intelligence features may wait until 2025

It is also possible that iOS 18 will be launched without any Apple Intelligence features at all. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, no Apple Intelligence features will be included in the first release of iOS 18, which is scheduled for September. The AI features will likely only make their appearance in the iOS 18.1 update, which will arrive later this year.

This seems to be confirmed by the beta versions; The developer beta version of iOS 18.1 has now been released and includes the first Apple Intelligence features. Suggestions include AI writing tools, a new Siri animation along with improved understanding of follow-up questions, AI-generated email summaries and smart reply options in messages. Photos in the iOS 18.1 developer beta also includes the ability to create a "Memory Movie" based on a text description such as "me and my dog in 2022" as well as improved natural language search.
