No internet access required? How AI will work in iPhone

Key AI features on iPhone will be activated locally. This means that access to the Internet or cloud servers is not required. Columnist Mark Gurman reports.

According to Bloomberg, this approach will provide more confidential interaction with AI, since all data will be stored locally on the device. But it is possible that new advanced AI capabilities may appear on the iPhone, which will already require a connection to an external server to process information.

New AI functions, according to the source, will be based on the capabilities of Google Gemini or other tools. In addition, AI support will be expanded to other company devices in the future.

Note that Apple devices receive some AI functions with the iOS 17 operating system. More information about upcoming functions related to generative AI may be revealed at the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which will take place on June 10.
