Apple is launching a global developer conference on Monday. Of course, it is a crucial moment for Apple, competing in AI races. That’s why we’re introducing Dan Howley, the editor of Yahoo Yahoo Finance Tech. I had to say Dan, and hopes for this eased.
00:19 Dan Howley
Yeah, as kids say about expectations for this particular WWDC, a sort of middle ground. This is of course an annual developer conference, rolling out new versions of iOS, Mac OS. Sometimes you get hardware updates here and there, but what everyone is talking about is that Ai Outlook is Apple’s. And, as you know, last year they unveiled the Apple Intelligence platform. It’s kind of a hit, you know. Well, the big deal for them, I think you know if they can move the story forward when it comes to AI. Therefore, they must prove they can compete in AI races. That’s something they couldn’t do yet. Everyone on Wall Street is waiting for a Tentur Hook. It also needs to show a clear path for Siri. Siri is late. He was already going out. Well, they put it on the back burner for a moment, as they cooked it for a while. As you know, this is an AAA platform and should be able to use the agent AI feature type. The example they laid out last year was your mom coming to the flight. You then enter your UH email or message to find out what time your flight is, then check your real-time flight data and provide information about when your flight will land. It is a type of agent AI approach. And they really have to show that their AI is valuable to the developers. As you know, developers are planning on building AI features. And if they can show its appearance, we’re open to this. If they can open them and allow developers to build on them, it can be huge. And, as you know, I equate it with the idea that I originally have an App Store. I’m not saying it will result in the same thing, but what I’m saying is that you know. It just shows what developers can do when they get their product. And if they manage to do so, it could be a boon for them.

Do you think Dan hears this conference and knows that he knows it’s targeting millions of developers around the world? If you were in that audience, you were a developer, what do you need to hear?
05:05 Dan Howley
So, for many developers, they think they’re just big fans, right? So, they mean seeing Craig Federigi or Tim Cook, you know, and losing their hearts. But I think for those who really want to know what’s going on, they’re continuing to build their AI stance, right? I just saw a Microsoft meeting and saw a Google meeting. They deployed a ton of AI features, right? In other words, Google has announced that this new AI mode is available. It’s basically like a rival like Chat GPT, but Google search. So these are the major changes these companies are making. Apple hasn’t been able to do that yet and actually showed nothing. So there was originally a commercial explaining how Apple Intelligence works. That feature wasn’t there yet, so they went by the roadside. So, when you provide ideas and timelines to developers, when these features finally go out, you’ll be more excited by looking at Google, looking forward to these developers.
