The highlight of the event was the introduction of iOS 18, designed for the iPhone. The new operating system will allow users to customize and secure their applications, including a feature that lets people lock individual apps.

While the September event is typically the highlight for Apple enthusiasts, this year's WWDC could be one of the most significant in recent history. Apple has teased a 'huge AI announcement,' with Wedbush analyst Dan Ives calling WWDC 2024 'the most important event for Apple in over a decade.' Ives highlighted the critical pressure on Apple to deliver a generative AI stack for both developers and consumers.

As tradition dictates, the first day of WWDC is expected to witness the most significant unveilings, with updates spanning across Apple's ecosystem, including iPhone, Watch, iPad, Mac, TV, and Vision Pro software. Reports indicate that iOS 18 is set to mark the "most ambitious overhaul of iPhone's software in its history," while WatchOS 11 promises substantial enhancements.
