Apple is reportedly halting development on iOS 18 in order to fix issues and inconsistencies in iOS 17. Despite the delay, iOS 18 is slated to be Apple's most important update in years, focusing on interface design and performance improvements. There are indications that Apple may combine AI developments, potentially delivering ChatGPT-like technology for users.
Apple is working on adding support for user-facing AI features as part of the iOS 18 update that is expected to arrive next year. The iPhone maker's competitors Google and Microsoft have already added AI-powered functionality to their products, while ChatGPT creator OpenAI has also introduced several AI features to its mobile apps. The development of AI features for Apple's apps and services could reportedly cost Apple around $1 billion (roughly Rs. 8,300 crore) over the next year.
