There\u2019s been a new development in how Apple manages its products\u2014and it\u2019s an AI disruption.<\/p>\n
Apple debuted new AI capabilities at this year\u2019s Worldwide Developers Conference. The company has always had a \u201cconsumer-oriented\u201d approach to its products, said Matt Vlasach, Jamf SVP of enterprise product and solutions engineering, who spoke to IT Brew from the conference on June 9.<\/p>\n
Now, they\u2019re expanding their software offerings with an open approach to AI, focused on developer tool suite Xcode.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re working with developers quite a bit to encourage them to develop stuff they were doing with Xcode,\u201d Vlasach said. \u201cThey\u2019re doing AI-assisted agentic development with Xcode using Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini\u2014your subscription of choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
IT Brew reached out to Apple for comment for this story, but did not receive a substantive response by press time.<\/p>\n
New day. Opening its platform to third-party model providers<\/a> is a notable step for Apple, which has a reputation for being insular and protective of its intellectual property. But the rise of AI has complicated that picture. Using the Xcode platform, developers will be able to integrate AI coding agents and plugins into their workflow<\/a>, as well as validate their work \u201cso they can run autonomously for longer, such as writing and running tests, trying ideas in isolation with Playgrounds, checking visual changes with previews, and interacting with the simulator in the new Device Hub,\u201d Apple claims.<\/p>\n For IT pros, especially those at organizations whose tech stack is Mac-driven, the software news is important. It may lead to changes in how teams manage tech and AI within the organization and, potentially, adjust token spend when building apps and services for macOS and iOS.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re going to see more interesting opportunities when it comes to how an IT team can manage either token spend or how LLM routing is done, but that\u2019s just not here today,\u201d Vlasach said.<\/p>\n Take your time. Most developers are unlikely to lean heavily into the new AI capabilities, at least at first, Vlasach said.<\/p>\n Disabling new tools before you trust the models is standard operating procedure for any developer; pros can then educate themselves on the capabilities and move on from there.<\/p>\n \u201cThey do their security research, and then they start to enable it,\u201d Vlasach said.<\/p>\n Top insights for IT pros<\/p>\n From cybersecurity and big data to cloud computing, IT Brew covers the latest trends shaping business tech in our 4x weekly newsletter, virtual events with industry experts, and digital guides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s been a new development in how Apple manages its products\u2014and it\u2019s an AI disruption.
