Apple's upcoming AI features are expected to be focused on helping with basic everyday tasks. The report adds that some of these features will be integrated into the device's system applications. Some of the new AI features will likely rely on on-device processing power, while some may use cloud-based computing.

Some of the features could include AI-generated summaries of web pages, replies to messages and emails, etc. AI-powered tools could help organize your email inbox, provide message summaries for notifications, etc.

Apple is also expected to revamp editing tools in its Photos app, which could include functionality similar to Google's Smart Eraser tool. The company is also expected to introduce a generative AI feature that can generate emojis based on text, which users can then save and use.
