Last year, Apple’s WWDC keynote highlighted the company’s ambitious strides in AI. This year, the company toned down its emphasis on Apple Intelligence and concentrated on updates to its operating systems, services, and software, introducing a new aesthetic it calls “ Liquid Glass ” along with a new naming convention.

I recently wrote about how Apple’s lagging AI technology might impact its device and OS market share. But as I sat at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino and listened to the WWDC keynote, I came to the opposite conclusion.

The power of Apple Silicon has already made the MacBook Pro a favored device for AI development, and the announcements at WWDC consolidate that status. If you want a machine that can build AI, makes use of AI, and can even run its own on-device AI to support the work you’re doing, get a Mac.
