It turns out there may have been some additional Apple Intelligence features coming to iOS 18 that Apple didn’t show off at WWDC earlier this year.
Specifically, you might be able to use AI to generate custom playlist art for Apple Music when iOS 18 launches this fall. This potential feature was spotted in some code in the iOS 18 beta by 9to5Mac. When creating or editing a playlist, there might be a “Create Image” button that would let you generate art, similar to how you can use AI to create emoji in the new version of iOS.
Can you test the new Apple Music feature now?
To be perfectly clear, the feature isn’t actually usable in the iOS 18 beta yet, so it’s impossible to say exactly how it works or whether it operates smoothly. It’s just referenced in some code. Heck, it may not even be ready for the launch of iOS 18 this year. Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, a prominent Apple prognosticator with a decent track record, wrote in his newsletter last month that some of Apple’s AI features may be delayed into 2025.
But between AI-generated playlist art and the ability to potentially recover damaged images and video, it’s clear that iOS 18 has more left in the tank than what Apple has shown us so far.
