What Apple announced at WWDC 2024
Apple Intelligence was the headline
Apple introduced Apple Intelligence as a system of generative models designed to work with personal context on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Major software updates
The software slate included iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, watchOS 11, visionOS 2, and tvOS 18. Apple highlighted new iOS customization options and a redesigned Photos experience, as well as updates across iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, and Apple TV.
