The eyes of technology lovers around the world are turning to Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference, WWDC 2024. Scheduled to be held from June 10 to 14 at Apple Park headquarters, this event promises exciting surprises and new turns in Apple's march towards further innovation and development. Amid high expectations for promising artificial intelligence technologies in the awaited iOS 18 update, and in general, the event this year will shed light on the future of artificial intelligence and its potential in the world of technology.
Apple's focus on artificial intelligence
It is no secret that Apple has placed great emphasis on artificial intelligence in the recent period, which is clearly evident through the event invitation and promotional materials that hint at major upgrades in this area. This focus is expected to affect Apple's core applications, the most important of which is Siri, as it is expected to witness radical improvements in its capabilities to learn and adapt to users' behaviors and patterns.
But integrating artificial intelligence into Apple products does not only aim to keep pace with modern technical trends, but also aims to set new standards for what intelligent software can do in providing smarter and more intuitive user experiences. For example, in the iOS 18 update, we may see advanced artificial intelligence features that enable devices to better learn and adapt to user behaviors, facilitating the process of managing tasks, applications, and settings in a more effective way.
Detection of iOS 18 update
While Apple is still conservative about the details of the new iOS 18 update, leaks and expectations hint at a group of expected new updates and features, the most prominent of which are:
Better Home Screen customizationThe iOS 18 update is expected to provide more flexible customization options for the start screen, allowing users to add their personal touches to the system interface more. We may see the ability to add new widgets and change the size and arrangement of icons on the home screen more freely.
RCS Support: The iOS 18 update is likely to support the RCS (Rich Communication Services) instant messaging protocol, which will improve the messaging experience between iPhone and Android users. Instead of relying on traditional SMS/MMS, users will be able to share multimedia and send instant messages more seamlessly via this modern protocol.
New user accessibility features: Apple is committed to making its products accessible to everyone. Apple may be adding a new hearing aid mode to the AirPods Pro, making it easier for the hearing impaired to better use these headphones. We may also see improvements in features such as VoiceOver, text zoom, and voice control to help users with disabilities.
Other advantages: Such as improvements in battery management and overall system performance, better control over privacy and data features, and perhaps some unexpected surprises that we are used to from Apple at every developer conference.
Hardware updates
Although the developer conference mainly focuses on the software side, there are expectations that some updates in the hardware area may be revealed as well. According to some leaks, we may see the launch of new iPad models, updates to the MacBook product line, or even a new HomePod device for the smart home.
A unique attendance experience
WWDC 2024 is adding a special touch to the attendee experience this year, giving developers and those interested the option to attend the events either in person at Apple Park or via live streaming online. This flexible approach shows Apple's commitment to the developer community and its desire to make the event accessible to all of them.
For those who attend in person, the experience will be exceptional and will give them the opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere of Apple headquarters and watch the presentations up close. As for those watching via the live broadcast, they will enjoy professional coverage that takes them to the heart of the event and enables them to follow the announcements and surprises moment by moment.
A look towards the future
There is no doubt that Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference WWDC 2024 represents an important turning point in the company's journey and in the world of technology in general. With the increasing focus on artificial intelligence and the launch of the new iOS 18 update, Apple is revealing its future vision for smarter and more interactive user experiences.
As we approach the event, questions are increasing about the extent to which these developments will affect the way we deal with technology in our daily lives. Will artificial intelligence redefine the relationship between humans and machines? How will the new iOS 18 features change the experience of using smartphones? What other surprises might Apple have in store for us?
All of these questions and more will find their answers within a few days when Apple unveils its latest innovations and reveals its future directions to the world. Here on the iPhone Islam website, we will closely follow the conference’s activities and events, moment by moment, before and after, so that you do not miss anything.

When will the official update be announced?
If Apple implements this proposal, Siri will become the same Alexa speaking in the Saudi dialect
Hello world of iOS and technology! 😃 This is what we all hope, that Siri will not just be a clone of Alexa but with a Saudi accent. 🇸🇦 If Apple does this, it will be a big step in enriching the Arab user experience. 🚀📱💡
For example, Siri says, “What do you want me to do for you?” instead of saying, “How do you want me to help you?” For example, I asked Siri to set an alarm. He says, “I set the alarm for you. Don’t be afraid.”
Instead of saying, “I set an alarm for you, the next hour,” he says, “There is no need to be afraid,” for example
I don't know if this suggestion will happen in iOS 18 or not, and if it doesn't happen, I don't know if it will happen in iOS 19.
But God willing, Apple will consider this suggestion, and I apologize for bothering you.
Hello world of iOS and technology! 🌟 There is currently no confirmed information about Siri changing the way you speak in iOS 18 or 19. 📱 However, Apple is always looking for ways to improve the user experience, so your suggestion may be considered in the future. 😉 And don't apologize for being annoying, you're not annoying at all! We are here to listen to your ideas and questions.👂💡
I hope the company adds in iOS 18 a choice of dialects that Siri can speak, such as Kuwaiti, Saudi, Egyptian, and more.
And the matter should not be limited only to the classical Arabic language
I know that classical Arabic responds to Siri in an excellent way, but I hope that the company adds more dialects such as Kuwaiti, Saudi, Egyptian, and more. I do not know if this will happen or not, but it is just a suggestion, and may God bless your efforts.
Hello world of iOS and technology! 😃
Thank you for your wonderful suggestion. The idea of Siri supporting different dialects such as Kuwaiti, Saudi, and Egyptian would indeed be a distinct addition. We hope that Apple will take this suggestion into consideration in future updates. 🍎🌍🗣️
We always strive to enrich the content of iPhone Islam with your opinions and suggestions. Thanks for your continued support! 🙏🌟
Very beautiful
I wish they would change the user interface. I wish they would change the design or the icons would be like the Mac and Control Center icons. They would modify its design and give us the freedom to customize it. Changing the design and adding features that have bored us for years will not change the same thing and features that are ordinary and disappointing.
Hello Abdul Rahman👋, Thank you for your comment. I think you will be happy with the developments at WWDC 2024, as the iOS 18 update is expected to witness more flexible customization options for the home screen, and this may ensure that the size and arrangement of icons on the home screen can be changed more freely 😊. Let's stay optimistic and follow the updates! 🍏📱
Apple's real problem is the delay in advancing technology, locking down and preventing the user from customizing his phone. There is no doubt that this is a shameful thing for Apple. Despite the quality, the system is stronger than everyone else. This is what the European Union countries have followed in imposing a system that forces Apple to prevent monopoly. There is no doubt that we congratulate the efforts of the Commission. European antitrust
Especially since Apple will not give you freedom and prevent monopoly
We hope that the Arab countries will follow suit
and East Asia in preventing monopoly and imposing regulations that protect users.
Welcome, Salman 🙋♂️! I think you make some valid points, but do not forget that Apple cares about the quality of the products and services it provides. As seen at WWDC 2024, Apple is investing heavily in artificial intelligence and technical innovations. With the new iOS 18 update, it will provide more customization of the splash screen and RCS support to improve messaging between iOS and Android users. We hope he takes these notes to account despite the issues I mentioned. thank you for your comment! 🙏😊
The feature has been present on Android since its inception
It is mind-numbing to add it now and talk about it publicly
Let Apple add them without talking about them as they do with some features
Talking about allowing icons to be placed wherever you want as an upcoming feature is an insult to the mind of the follower
Hello Samir, 🙋♂️ This feature I mentioned may seem simple, but it reflects Apple’s efforts to provide a more personal user experience. We will not forget that sometimes small things mean a lot! 🍎😉
We aspire for FaceTime to work without the Internet and with messages
Hello Fares Al-Janabi 😊, Currently, FaceTime and iMessage services rely on the Internet to work. But who knows? Perhaps in the future, Apple will offer new ways to expand the capabilities of these applications. Until then, let's enjoy the amazing technological innovations that Apple has to offer us online 🌐🍏.

Can I enlarge the status bar or the icons inside it?
Hello Phone Islam! 😊 Unfortunately, current iOS does not have an option to enlarge the status bar or the icons within it. However, you can use the “Zoom” feature available in “Settings,” then “General,” then “Accessibility” to zoom in on all screen elements. 📱🔍
I do not want artificial intelligence, brother, it is not required or forced like the Corona vaccine!🤗
At the expense of the battery, no one complains!
Hello MuhammadJassem 🙋♂️, I know technology can be scary sometimes but the artificial intelligence in Apple products aims to provide a better and easier user experience. And don't worry about the battery, Apple is always working to improve the energy efficiency of its products. 😄🔋📱
