Apple is getting ready for its yearly Worldwide Developers Conference. There are growing worries that Apple is not innovating enough and is falling behind in the race for artificial intelligence (AI). This year's event is expected to be less exciting than in past years. It will focus on making big changes to its software, like giving iPhone's standard apps a new look and creating a new way to name its operating system updates. Even though there have been delays in making Siri's AI features better, Apple is still positive about its progress. However, as Apple deals with its AI problems, competitors like Google and Samsung are adding more AI to their products, which makes the gap wider. Also, new rules and trade uncertainties are a risk for Apple, which could affect its money and how it makes products. These issues have caused Apple's stock price to drop by almost 20% this year. It is now the third most valuable company in the world, after Microsoft and the AI chipmaker Nvidia.
