I’m hopeful that it’ll allow for some truly unique slides for my Keynote presentations. I spend far too long searching in Safari for something close to what I require — almost every time.

I think it may be part of the deal Apple made with OpenAI? I assume Apple wrote an api to hooks into OpenAI ChatGPT your Apple tax dollars at work, in fact Apple mentioned the word api several times during the presentation a subtle reminder to the EU, DOJ, and Developers that value/money was spent/provided to build up the ecosystems in short what you are seeing didn't happen out of thin free air.....

Am I the only one who kind hates this new functionality? I really...don't love the art styles, and it feels like it's just going to create a lot of extra junk in my messages if people use it. I know, it's a bit of a cynical take, just wondering what peoples' response has been to the new feature.

You don't have to use it. You don't have use any of the features on an iPhone. You can just put it in Airplane Mode and use it as an iPod or a paperweight if that's your jam. Hell, at least in an older iPhone that had a SIM slot, you could just stick an expired SIM card into the slot.

Don't like Face ID? Touch ID? Apple Pay? Bluetooth? Siri? Fine. Don't use them. No one at Apple is saying you need to create Genmojis, Memojis, whatever. If you don't want to create images on your phone, don't.

You don't have to use the camera either. You can ignore it, even put tape over the lenses.

You can switch to silent mode and change your ringtones to silent audio files if you want.

How is it different than ChatGPT’s current free tier?

Maybe you should tune into the Platform Keynote or one of the sessions that will focus on such matters.

The WWDC general keynote is only 90 minutes long (or so), they don't have time to hit every single bullet point. About the only thing they did note was that ChatGPT functionality would be coming "later this year" which implies that it will not be running when iOS 18 releases.

The developer betas never have all of the features as the actual consumer release so even those who are downloading the iOS 18 images right now won't have all the answers.

In time we will all know more about iOS 18's capabilities and limitations. Apple simply can't provide all the answers in such a short span of time, especially in a high-level presentation that skews heavily toward a more consumer audience.

The Platform Keynote is where they will get into more technical detail. This is nothing new to this WWDC, it has been this way for many years now. The Monday morning 10am PDT WWDC keynote is more of a marketing message.

You or someone else will pose a similar question next year and me or someone else will likely pose a similar answer.

Does that other Mac info site (9to5) have more info than Insider? They said the OS would allow users access to the free tier of ChatGPT (5?) with the option to hook up their paid account.

That's a very curious first post on AppleInsider.

I'll be honest: I don't know if 9to5mac is any more correct than this site, MacRumors, Macworld, or any other technology news site.

One thing that I do know is that Apple does not typically hand out exclusive information to media sites. Basically everyone who covers Apple is just speculating unless they aren't quoting Apple press releases or things actual Apple representatives have said.

For sure, Apple will continue to reveal more information in today's Platform Keynote as well as individual technical sessions and other documentation as WWDC progresses throughout the week. So what people knew at 11:40am PDT this morning will likely not be the final word on everything about iOS 18.

Anyhow welcome to AppleInsider.
