The initiative is known as “Project Greymatter.
“AppleInsider also confirms as much, and reports on a handful of additional AI features.
As a bit of an AI skeptic, I like this plan.
(Apple already does havesomeAI features, includingLive Text, which uses the NPU to handle processing.)
However, not all features are ideal for on-gadget processing, especially for older iPhones and Macs.
If your iPhone, iPad, or Mac is pretty new, the hardware should keep up.
Gurman says Apple plans to run some cloud-based features from server farms with M2 Ultra chips.
We’ll likely see how Apple’s grand AI plan is coming together at WWDC.
That sounds genuinely fun and useful, if done well.
Apple seems poised to offer an effective iteration on that idea.
Perhaps the emojis are just one part of this experience.
There may even be a specialized AI Siri in the the works for the Apple Watch.
(For example, asking Siri from your iPhone to pause a show on your Apple TV.)
While not all of these features are powered by AI, at least two that are seem really interesting.
With iOS 18 and macOS 15, Apple may roll out automatic replies as well.
Soon, we may all be communicating with single button taps.
Gurman suggests Voice Memos will also get this transcription feature.
As you write out your equations, “Keyboard Math Predictions” can suggest ways to autocomplete the notation.
iOS already has a notification summary feature, but these smart recaps sound more involved.
According to the outlet, you’ll be able to pull up these AI-generated summaries from Siri as well.

AppleInsider also confirms another Gurman leak: AI is coming to the Photos app.
