Apple Plans to Bring More AI Innovations to Apple Pro

Apple is reportedly looking to bring more of its "Apple Intelligence" upgrades to its device "ecosystem," including its $3,500 Apple Vision Pro.

According to Bloomberg, the iPhone maker plans to expand its AI features outside Macs, iPhones, and iPads to help the device handle more computer and work-related tasks.

Among the features reportedly coming are AI-led improvements to its notifications system, writing tools, and the debut of the newly OpenAI-powered Siri.

These new additions, however, are expected not to come out until next year.

The move is projected to help Apple entice more customers to its newer products through its software upgrades after years of minimal hardware innovations.

This is not to mention how the updates could help revamp the pricey Vision Pro's dropping sales only four months since its launch.

Apple Partners with More AI Firms

Apple has been closing deals with various AI firms since its announcements at the 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference to bring all of these new AI-led features to reality.

So far, the company has already inked a partnership with OpenAI to provide ChatGPT to its Siri voice assistant for iOS and iPadOS.

Apple has also been reported to be in "active negotiations" with Google to bring its Gemini chatbot to other iPhone features, possibly in future iOS 18 updates.

More recently, the company has started talks with its biggest headset market rival Meta to bring its generative AI developments to its "Apple Intelligence" system.

AI Addition Could Tax Vision Pro's Struggling User Experience

There is no question that the Apple Vision Pro could handle the AI upgrades, especially with its M2 processing chip and an iPadOS-like system, but introducing these features may still take a toll on the device's already struggling user experience.

As earlier reviews have pointed out, the Apple Vision Pro has some design issues in its maneuverability that leave user experience on the device confusing and disorienting.

Adding an AI-powered feature notably known for generating faulty responses, not to mention poor app integration, could only further sour people's experience on the device.

While the devices themselves may not have a hard time hosting the AI additions, Bloomberg noted that processing-intensive technology like this will likely tax Apple's still budding computer infrastructure greatly.
