Apple to Power AI Features With M2 Ultra Servers

May 10, 2024 - macrumors.com
Apple is reportedly planning to power some of its iOS 18 features with data centers that use servers equipped with Apple silicon chips, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The company's M2 Ultra chips will be used for advanced AI tasks, with future servers potentially using next-generation M4 chips. While some tasks will be performed on-device, more intensive tasks will require cloud connectivity. Despite privacy concerns, Apple assures that its chips will inherently protect user privacy. Although initially planning to use its own servers, Apple may also rely on servers from other companies in the future.

In other news, Apple has announced new iPad Pro models with the M4 chip, Ultra Retina XDR OLED displays, and a nano-texture display option. The company also unveiled a redesigned Magic Keyboard for the latest iPad Pro models, and announced that iOS 17.5, with new features and changes, will be released soon. The company held its first event of 2024, debuting new iPad Air and iPad Pro models and accompanying accessories.
