From CNET: Apple arrived late to the AI party, but now it's ready to face off against Google and Microsoft.

You can already download an iOS 18 developer beta; all the other operating systems enter public beta later this year.

Apple has introduced a programmer kit for adding AI and App Intents support so developers can define actions and access AI. And it's added code completion and other dev tools to its coding software apps.
