Apple to partner with Amazon-backed Anthropic on AI-based coding platform
Apple is partnering with Amazon-backed startup Anthropic on a new "vibe-coding" software platform that will use artificial intelligence to write, edit, and test code on behalf of programmers, Bloomberg News reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
"Vibe coding" refers to a programming method where AI agents generate code, a concept gaining popularity in the AI landscape.
The new AI coding system is an updated version of Apple's programming software, Xcode, and will integrate Anthropic's Claude Sonnet AI model, the report said.
Anthropic declined to comment, while Apple did not immediately respond to a Reuters requests for comment.
Apple plans to deploy the software internally, with the company still undecided on a public launch, the report added.
Previously, Apple announced an AI-driven coding tool for Xcode named Swift Assist, intended for a 2024 release. However, it was never made available to developers, with some concerns from Apple's engineers about potential slowdowns in app development, Bloomberg added.
Coding assistants are gaining traction in the rapidly evolving AI landscape, with Bloomberg News reporting last month that GenAI pioneer OpenAI is in discussions to buy artificial intelligence-assisted coding tool Windsurf for about $3 billion.
Amid intense competition among major tech firms to dominate the burgeoning generative AI sector, Apple is increasingly partnering with established AI companies and integrating a host of on-device AI features to enhance its offerings.
Apple has been equipping its devices with more powerful chips designed to handle AI tasks, such as summoning OpenAI's ChatGPT to answer user queries, as it seeks to attract customers.

F1 movie: Apple unveils world's first haptic movie trailer for Joseph Kosinski's ‘F1'
Apple has launched a groundbreaking promotional feature for its upcoming racing film F1, introducing the world's first haptic-enabled movie trailer. The immersive trailer, which can be viewed on iPhones running iOS 18.4 via the Apple TV app, gives users a tactile experience of key moments from the film. The trailer uses the iPhone's Taptic Engine to synchronise vibrations with the on-screen action, allowing viewers to feel events like roaring engines, tire skids, and even subtle moments like the click of a seatbelt or a bouncing ball. It mirrors the multi-sensory effects of 4DX theaters but delivers the experience through a smartphone for the first time. Experience the new @F1Movie trailer on iPhone in a way only Apple can deliver. — Tim Cook (@tim_cook) June 11, 2025 Starring Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, F1 follows a former Formula One driver who is called out of retirement to mentor a rising talent, played by Damson Idris. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film is set for theatrical release on June 27 and will later be available on Apple TV. To access the haptic trailer, users must update their iPhones to iOS 18.4, open the Apple TV app, and select the specially marked F1 trailer. Viewers will feel dynamic feedback throughout the trailer such as acceleration bursts and tension-filled crashes. This marks a first in cinematic promotion, bringing haptic technology that's commonly used in gaming into the world of film.
