Apple Unveils iPhone 18, Duo Foldable, AirPods 5, and Watch for On-Device AI
Apple positions the iPhone 18 series, a new Duo foldable, AirPods 5, and Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 as an on-device AI “personal hub.” The devices add chip upgrades such as a second neural engine accelerator for a dual 16-core Neural Engine to run more models locally. A smarter Siri powered by Apple Intelligence uses personal context and on-screen awareness, with Siri AI remaining in beta after new OS versions launch later this quarter despite a prior delay.
