Nevertheless, analyst Ben Reitzes speculates that Apple may shift its focus to establishing a platform for diverse AI applications developed by various creators, GizmoChina reports. .
This strategy mirrors Apple’s previous success with app stores such as iTunes and the iPhone App Store. Apple has had great success in persuading other companies to join these platforms and promoting their products at the same time.
Reitz expects Apple to demonstrate how customers can buy AI apps at WWDC. This upcoming App Store will likely feature Apple’s own AI assistant (an enhanced version of Siri) in addition to products from rival companies.
The idea of an AI App Store is not an entirely new concept. Various experts have suggested comparable models, suggesting that Apple may be considering it within WWDC.

There are also rumors suggesting that Apple may have talked with companies like Google and Baidu about potentially integrating their AI services into this App Store.
Google’s Gemini AI is now accessible through a standard app and can be seamlessly integrated into AI-focused markets.
WWDC is scheduled to take place in early June, so we’ll have to wait and see if Apple implements this innovative approach to AI.
