Mumbai, June 10: The much-anticipated Apple WWDC 2024 event is about to kick off at 10:30 PM IST. This event is not just another tech event, but a platform where major AI upgrades to the operating systems are expected to be unveiled. The  event will be live-streamed on YouTube, Apple.com, and the Apple TV app. It's worth noting that the iOS 18 update might not be compatible with earlier models of iPhones, as confirmed by some previous reports. 

Apple AI, reportedly called "Apple Intelligence," is anticipated to be the event's main focus. Since the AI features in the upcoming iOS 18 would require both on-device and cloud processing, some older models with less efficient processors and capabilities would not be compatible. However, all the recently launched smartphones that supported the iOS 17 update would mostly be compatible with the company's upcoming iOS 18 operating system. WWDC 2024: When and Where to Watch Apple Worldwide Developers Conference?
