Such functionality could allow users to automate tasks, including making reservations, managing schedules, editing documents and controlling smart home devices. Apple has not officially announced these features.

Camera And Photos Apps

Reports indicate that Apple may introduce updates to the Camera app, including new AI-powered visual recognition capabilities. A redesigned interface could include a dedicated Visual Intelligence section alongside existing camera modes such as Photo, Video, Portrait and Panorama. The Photos app is also expected to receive additional Apple Intelligence features. Reported upgrades include improved photo editing tools, object removal capabilities and editing functions that respond to natural-language commands.

Image Playground Updates

Image Playground is expected to receive updates focused on image quality, editing controls and creative customization options. Reports suggest improvements to character consistency, new artistic styles and a simplified editing experience that would allow users to describe desired changes using natural language. Additional reports point to new Genmoji capabilities and expanded AI-generated wallpaper options.

Apple Wallet

Apple Wallet could receive several new features, according to reports. Among the additions under discussion are bill-splitting tools that would help users divide expenses and send payment requests. Another reported feature would allow users to create digital passes from physical tickets, memberships and other credentials.

MacOS, IPadOS, VisionOS, WatchOS, And TvOS Updates

Backing The Next Stage Of AI Research

Mirendil plans to use Google’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), Nvidia GPUs and managed training infrastructure to develop AI systems capable of improving their own performance over time.

Known as recursive self-improvement, the concept focuses on building AI that can refine its knowledge and capabilities with minimal human intervention. The technology is attracting growing interest across the industry, with several startups and leading AI labs exploring similar approaches.

According to co-founder and Chief Executive Behnam Neyshabur, the long-term goal is to develop AI that can automate scientific research and accelerate discoveries in fields such as medicine, biology and materials science.

Compute Capacity Becomes A Strategic Asset

Training increasingly advanced AI models requires enormous computing resources, making long-term infrastructure agreements a critical competitive advantage.

Mirendil said Google’s combination of TPUs and GPUs allows workloads to be matched with the most suitable hardware, improving efficiency while reducing costs for customers.

For Google Cloud, the agreement strengthens its position in the race to provide infrastructure for frontier AI developers, while giving the company exposure to one of the industry’s emerging approaches to next-generation artificial intelligence.
