The iOS 18 update for the iPhone is almost here, and it will be one of the most significant changes in the history of the operating system.
We just learned something interesting about how its much-anticipated artificial intelligence (AI) features might work. It will be out in June, though.
In the paid-for section of his Power On newsletter (via MacRumors), Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman says the AI features – or at least those created by Apple rather than by a third party – will work wholly on your device.

As everyone waits for Apple’s big AI reveal on June 10, it looks like the first wave of features will only work on the device,” Gurman writes. That means the company’s large language model, the software that makes the new features possible, needs a cloud processing part.
According to Gurman, Apple will likely add to this with cloud-based AI features from Google Gemini or another service.
Apple has reportedly been in talks with major AI developers to get generative artificial intelligence tools built into iOS 18. This could mean we see ChatGPT or some other AI woven deep into the operating system.
At the time, iOS 18 is not tipped to include Apple’s long-rumored chatbot. The release date for Apple’s chatbot is currently unknown. Still, based on what we’ve seen, it could be a significant challenge to the current industry leaders.
What does this mean for you?
Apple has long been a champion of users’ privacy and wants to run as many of its features on-device as possible. When that happens, it means your data does not leave your device and is not stored on any third-party servers, which limits outside access to it.

However, while Apple keeps its own AI tools on-device, the same can’t be said for whichever company gives the generative AI that lands in iOS 18. That seems inconsistent with Apple’s much-vaunted privacy stance and shows that the company needs to catch up with its rivals in any way possible.
