WWDC 2024

Gaming Becomes More Important to Apple

At WWDC 2024, Apple announced not only a dozen new and old games for the Mac, but also the second iteration of the Game Porting Toolkit. This should simplify the process of bringing games into the Apple ecosystem, especially as Apple talks about a "unified gaming platform across iPhone, iPad and Mac".

Artificial Intelligence was, unsurprisingly, a dominant theme at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference 2024. The company introduced Apple Intelligence, a "personal intelligence system" based on generative models. It will be integrated into iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS 15 Sequoia (Beta: launched; Release: autumn 2024), with Apple placing particular emphasis on privacy. Gaming was also addressed, especially on the Mac, although it was given little time compared to other aspects.
