A new AI platform called Apple Intelligence was the highlight of the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference presentation on Monday, which also included updates to the iPhone maker’s operating systems.

The push also includes a revamped version of Siri, the company’s once-pioneering digital assistant.

Investors initially had a tepid reaction to the event, with the stock price virtually unchanged in premarket trading — a not-uncommon reaction when Apple debuts long-anticipated new features. Shares of some key Apple suppliers had sank overnight, following the event.
