What is Apple’s vision for the iPhone as an intelligent personal hub?
You want a great opening scene? Here's one. Open on a man's face. Half-licked by flame. And he drops the lighter. Fire does the rest. He walks away. And he never looks back. Nah, you gotta open like this. Camera goes down the hallway towards our kid. Just a normal kid. Except... No. Here's a better one. Open on a woman in a bathroom. Slow push in to her reflection. As she peers away, Her disguise. Come on. It needs more action. Open deep in the forest. Horses thunder. Two armies about to collide. Cut to a samurai. Enemy approaches.
Charge!
You call that an opening? This is the opening. The getaway driver floors it. Cops in pursuit. Wait for it.
Buckle up, buttercup.
Forget all that. Keep it classic. Open on an aerial shot high above the California coast. A car drives down the highway, then it disappears into a tunnel. Cut to an interior. Camera follows a mysterious figure before revealing our main character. No, no, no, no, no. Not me. That's your guy. That's your opener. Hello and welcome to Apple Park. I am so thrilled to be here today. Before we get going, I want to take a moment to express what an extraordinary privilege it is to represent the remarkable teams here at Apple. I have spent much of my life at this company, and I continue to be inspired every single day by the curiosity, invention, and relentless pursuit of excellence that define Apple. Our teams bring an incredible level of collaboration and care to everything they do, all in service of a mission that has guided us from the very beginning, to make the best products in the world.
Every day, people around the world rely on our products to create, learn, live healthier lives, and stay connected to the people and things that matter most. And the values at the heart of Apple continue to guide everything we do. As we look ahead, we see a future filled with enormous discovery and transformation. AI makes entirely new kinds of experiences possible. And AI can become even more useful when it brings together your life with the apps, services, and products you use every day. And this means the product at the center of your experiences becomes even more essential. What I like to think of as an intelligent personal hub. It's the intersection of broad new capability and a deep understanding of your personal context that makes this idea so powerful.
Now, if you were designing the ideal version of this hub from scratch, how would you do it? Well, first, you would want something that is always with you, deeply personal, and able to bring intelligence to the moments when it matters most. You'd require a powerful processor that can run incredibly capable on-device models to quickly answer questions in the moment and pervasive networking to access knowledge and even more capable models in the cloud. You'd need a large, beautiful display to show rich content. You'd add high-quality cameras and microphones so it could see and hear and reason over the sights, sounds, and the world around you. Of course, you'd give it all-day battery life. You'd want it to be super easy to use without a big learning curve.
And finally, you'd want it to work seamlessly with your other devices, apps, and services so it feels like one integrated experience. In other words, you would arrive at something remarkably familiar. Because there's no product in the world better designed to be your intelligent personal hub than iPhone.
As your personal hub, your iPhone can do so much more for you because it understands your context. This includes your calendar, your relationships, your routines, the most private details of your daily life. Now, others see that data as something to collect and store. They move it to their servers and ask you to trust them. But honestly, trust only goes so far when your data is no longer yours to control. That's why Apple Intelligence runs on device whenever it can. When greater capability is needed, Private Cloud Compute extends that same level of privacy protection, ensuring that nobody, not even Apple, can access what's yours. It's personal intelligence that's actually personal.
