  • Apple will open its three-billion-parameter on-device foundation models to third-party developers at WWDC 2025 to enable native AI integrations in apps.
  • The company plans to showcase new AI-driven tools in iOS 26, including a battery power management mode, a redesigned Translate app with AirPods and Siri integration, and AI-powered tagging in Safari and Photos.
  • A revamped Shortcuts app will let users create automations through natural language commands using Apple Intelligence models, though the public release may be pushed to 2026.
  • Apple Intelligence has underperformed since its launch a year ago, leaving the company trailing rivals OpenAI and Google in generative AI capabilities.
  • Internal testing of models ranging from 3 billion to 150 billion parameters points toward future launches of an LLM-powered Siri and a ChatGPT-style chatbot, with broader AI innovations slated for 2026.
