Apple brings ChatGPT and other AI models to Xcode
At WWDC 2025, Apple released a new version of Xcode, its app development suite, that integrates OpenAI's ChatGPT for coding, doc generation, and more. The company also announced that developers can use API keys to bring AI models from other providers to Xcode for AI-powered programming suggestions.
'Developers can connect [AI] models directly into their coding experience to write code, tests, and documentation; iterate on a design; fix errors; and more,' said the company in a blog post about the new version of Xcode, Xcode 26.

With the new AI integrations in Xcode, developers can use tools to generate a preview of code or handle other tasks. Developers can tap ChatGPT in Xcode without creating an account; paid ChatGPT user can connect their accounts to increase the rate limits.
In other AI-related news today, Apple also launched the Foundation Models framework to let developers tap into the company's AI models running on-device. The company said that developers need to write just three lines of code to access these models.

Why macOS Tahoe is a big deal for Intel Macs
Apple's WWDC event kicked off on Monday with the usual slew of fresh announcements and updates showcasing the company's software plans for the year ahead. And as with every WWDC keynote, the upcoming shift to new software also signaled diminishing support for older Apple devices. Recommended Videos Case in point, Apple's upcoming macOS 26 (aka macOS Tahoe) will be the final macOS release for Mac computers powered by Intel processors. The tech giant ditched Intel chips in favor of its own custom-designed Apple Silicon chips, starting with the M1 in 2020 before completing the transition in 2023. Matthew Firlik, Apple's senior director of developer relations, dropped the news during the WWDC Platforms State of the Union keynote on Monday. Tahoe will actually be compatible with only four Intel Macs, which came out in 2019 and 2020, and the updated operating system will not run on Intel versions of the MacBook Air and Mac mini. Specifically, macOS Tahoe will be compatible with: – MacBook Air with Apple Silicon (2020 and later) – MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon (2020 and later) – MacBook Pro (16‑inch, 2019) – MacBook Pro (13‑inch, 2020; four Thunderbolt 3 ports) – iMac (2020 and later) – Mac mini (2020 and later) – Mac Studio (2022 and later) – Mac Pro (2019 and later) Furthermore, there are Mac machines that support macOS Sequoia (the current macOS version) but won't be able to get macOS Tahoe, specifically: – MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020) – MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018; four Thunderbolt 3 ports) – MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) – MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019; four Thunderbolt 3 ports) – MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019) – MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019; two Thunderbolt 3 ports) – MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020; two Thunderbolt 3 ports) – iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) – iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019) – iMac Pro (2017) – Mac mini (2018) Owners of Intel Macs can still expect to get security updates for their machines for some time to come, but access to new features in macOS 27 — set to launch next year — won't be possible as compatibility will be limited to Apple Silicon devices. Tahoe, which lands for the latest Mac computers this fall, introduces a major redesign featuring a new Liquid Glass translucent aesthetic; enhanced customization options for folders, app icons, and Control Center; a new Phone app for Mac with iPhone call integration; a major update to Spotlight; expanded Apple Intelligence capabilities including Live Translation and intelligent Shortcuts; and improved Continuity experiences to boost productivity and personalization across Mac and iPhone devices.

Apple unveils new AI features at WWDC 25: What it means for iPhone users
Apple unveils new AI features at WWDC 25: What it means for iPhone users Apple announced new artificial intelligence features at the Worldwide Developers Conference keynote June 9. The company launched testing versions of live translation, visual search and a workout assistant. Apple Intelligence will also be a part of the Reminder, Messages and Apple Wallet apps. "Last year, we took the first steps on a journey to bring users intelligence that's helpful, relevant, easy to use, and right where users need it, all while protecting their privacy," Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering, said. "Now, the models that power Apple Intelligence are becoming more capable and efficient, and we're integrating features in even more places across each of our operating systems." The company also said it will open its large language model to third party developers. "App developers will be able to build on Apple Intelligence to bring users new experiences that are intelligent, available when they're offline, and that protect their privacy, using AI inference that is free of cost," the company said in a news release accompanying the announcement. Federighi also teased that updates to Siri would be coming later this year. Apple WWDC 2025: Live updates on keynote, AI and iOS news How AI features will be implemented The company said that its visual search feature, dubbed visual intelligence, will be extended to the screen from what it has already released using device cameras. Users will be able to ask ChatGPT questions about what they're looking at on their screen as well as search-supported apps to find similar images and products. They will also be able to add events to their calendar from images on their screen. The live translation feature will automatically translate messages, generate translated captions on Facetime and audio translations on phone calls. Apple said that the "Workout Buddy" will analyze data from a user's current workout along with their fitness history to provide inspiration in real time. The feature will be available on Apple Watch and require an Apple Intelligence-supported iPhone nearby as well as Bluetooth earbuds. Other uses of Apple Intelligence include: Reminders: Relevant actions in an email, website, note, or other content can now be identified and automatically categorized Apple Wallet: Order tracking details from emails sent from merchants or delivery carriers can be summarized. Messages: Apple Intelligence can detect when a poll might come in handy and suggest one in a messages thread. WWDC 2025 AI announcements could help Apple catch up The opening of the Foundation Models appears to be an attempt to spur the creation of new AI features and apps to help Apple catch up in the artificial intelligence market. "We think this will ignite a whole new wave of intelligent experiences in the apps users rely on every day," Federighi said. 9to5Mac noted before the conference that software announcements made last year rolled out slowly and AI upgrades to Siri and Swift Assist never materialized. "They had the big vision announcement last year. Not a lot of progress this year as they tried to build it. It is hard to build," Alex Kantrowitz, founder of the Big Technology podcast and newsletter, said on CNBC on Monday, Apple is expected to partner with Alibaba on AI in China, according to Reuters, but that has been delayed because of the tariff showdown between President Donald Trump and China. There is 'growing confidence inside and outside China this AI launch will ultimately happen between Apple and Alibaba,' Ives said in a note to investors on Monday, June 9. Apple stock and reactions The affair was fairly subdued, Craig Moffett, co-founder and senior analyst at equity research firm MoffettNathanson, told CNBC. 'What's the old joke, they set expectations really low and then they proceeded to meet them. They did pretty much what everybody expected,' said Moffett. 'The real question is where's the growth going to come from and that's still a huge question mark.' Apple stock fell more than 1% as the WWDC event played out. Shares opened Monday, June 9, at $204.39, but fell to below $202 during the event. The company stock price hit $259 in late December 2024, near the end of a three-month period in which Apple set an all-time record for iPhone upgrades. But shares dipped to $172 in April 2025 a few weeks after the company announced it was delaying some artificial intelligence upgrades to Siri to 2026.
