Apple's AI news at developer conference won't be the whole story – Axios

Apple is set to detail its generative AI strategy at next week's developer conference, but don't expect what's shown to be the final word.
Why it matters: The iPhone maker is under pressure to unveil a strategy, and it will do so. But that strategy is very much a work in progress.
Driving the news: At its Worldwide Developer Conference, which kicks off on Monday, Apple is expected to showcase a revamped Siri that uses genAI to better understand what iPhone owners want to do and to help them take action.
Between the lines: The partner approach is less than ideal for Apple.
The big picture: Apple has been the slowest of the big tech companies to publicly embrace what many see as a generational shift in technology.
The other side: Having failed to own a smartphone platform, Meta and Amazon are keen to stay on top of whatever hardware shift comes next.
Yes, but: Whatever Apple announces Monday needn't be Apple's long-term answer, and probably won't be.
Zoom out: Future generative models are expected to offer more powerful reasoning engines.
Bottom line: If Apple can increase its use of genAI, even modestly so, while also maintaining the trust of its massive user base, this year's advances could pave the way for bigger things to come.
What's next: Axios will have live coverage from Cupertino starting at 10 a.m. PT on Monday.
