Bernstein analysts are highlighting Apple's (AAPL) growth opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI) ahead of the upcoming WWDC 2026 event. The firm notes that Apple's advancements in AI technologies could play a significant role in the company's long-term growth story. In particular, the integration of AI into Apple's existing product ecosystem is expected to improve user experience and create new revenue streams.
