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.

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

Apple is also expected to announce updates across its operating systems, including macOS, iPadOS, visionOS, watchOS and tvOS.
