A recent Bloomberg report reveals Apple's AI plans.
  • Apple plans to launch an AI tool that writes code as early as this year, Bloomberg reported.
  • Sources say the feature will be similar to Microsoft's GitHub Copilot — a new competitor.
  • The tech giant is also working on AI features for the iPhone, iPad, and MacOS. 

Apple is almost done building a generative AI tool for iOS app developers — and the company plans on releasing it to third-party software makers as early as this year, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
