WWDC 2024 PREDICTIONS REVEALED

We spoke to technology expert Paolo Pescatore, a longtime industry analyst and Apple aficionado.

He said we have a lot to look forward to, including an overhaul of Siri’s AI and some VR news too.

“All the attention seems to be on AI,” Paolo told The US Sun.

“While rivals tout their AI capabilities, Apple has a proven pedigree and has been working with AI for a long time.”

Paolo noted that Apple recently unveiled its new M4 chip, found in the latest iPad Pro.

“With the introduction of its premium M4 chipset, this will be a big draw among users and developers, which will allow portability of the same services between devices,” explained Paolo of PP Foresight.

“We should expect a preview of the new operating system updates for its devices and some powered by the new chipset.”

Voice is set to play a prominent role with the increasing focus on AI and could therefore receive a revamp with improvements to Siri.

But Apple faces stiff competition from rivals when it comes to artificial intelligence.

Therefore, Paolo expects major AI upgrades to be revealed.

“AI must be present across the full range of platforms, including software and hardware,” said Paolo.

“Samsung introduced some cool features as part of Galaxy AI at the beginning of the year, with transcription, better navigation and photo editing tools.

“Similar features, along with an increased focus on personalization, will be key for Apple.

“Apple should leverage its credibility with users regarding privacy to reassure them, given the ongoing huge concerns around AI.

“Voice is expected to play a prominent role with the increasing focus on AI and could therefore receive a revamp with improvements to Siri.”

The big question is whether we will see new devices announced at WWDC.

APPLE WWDC 2024 – THE OFFICIAL PREDICTIONS

Here are six predictions from PP Foresight analyst Paolo Pescatore…

1. Artificial intelligence updates across all Apple products
2. Improvements to Siri, Apple’s digital assistant
3. Apple Vision Pro updates, as well as the launch of the headset in new markets
4. Personalization features for AI, including photo editing and transcription
5. Devices that use Apple’s new M4 chip
6. Previews of new OS updates for all devices

Most experts think the event will be mostly limited to software, but we could see Apple launch its Vision Pro “spatial computing” headset outside the US.

The headset was announced during the 2023 WWDC event and released to Americans in February 2024.

It’s possible that Apple will begin releasing the headset in other countries, including the UK.

But any other gadget news beyond minor hardware upgrades seems unlikely, Paolo explained.

“This is a developer-led event. That being said, we shouldn’t ignore the possibility of new devices as well as an update to Vision Pro, including new marketsresources etc.”, Paolo told us.

“Apple could follow Samsung in unveiling a ring that builds on its health and fitness heritage; highly unlikely.”
