The event, which will be available online, will highlight
updates to the software powering iPhones, iPads and other Apple
devices, the company said. Some developers and students will be
invited in-person at Apple Park on the opening day, it added.
Investors are closely watching for updates on artificial
intelligence development at Apple, which has so far spoken
little about incorporating the technology into its devices. The
company earlier this year lost the crown as the world's most
valuable company to Microsoft.
Apple plans to use AI technology such as Google's Gemini for a
chatbot within Apple's operating systems, while the iPhone
maker's own AI engine will handle more behind-the-scenes tasks
throughout the new software, Bloomberg News reported earlier
this month.
The company also plans to make the iPhone home screen more
customizable in iOS 18, which some reports have said could mark
the biggest update to the iPhone operating system in years.
The developers conference comes at a time when sales of Apple's
iPhone remain weak, while those of Macs and iPads have fallen
amid a worldwide slump in gadget sales.
At last year's conference, Apple unveiled the Vision Pro mixed
reality headset, a new core processor, and new computers.
