IOS 26 is now available for all users, developers updating applications to take advantage of Apple’s compact local AI models. Compared to the larger models of Openai, Anthropic, Google or Meta, Apple models focus on improving the functionality of the application with improvements in quality of life rather than the transformation of main workflows.
Earlier this year, Apple introduced its framework of foundation models during WWDC 2025, which allows developers to use local AI models of the company to supply the features of their applications.
The company boasted that with this framework, the developers have access to AI models without worrying about any cost of inference. In addition, these local models have capacities such as guided generation and the call of integrated tools.
MacDailyNews take: Mehta has compiled a healthy list of applications that use Apple’s AI frame, with descriptions, screenshots and links. Check them all here.
