Many major features won’t arrive this fall with iOS 18

iOS 18 brings new ways to customize iPhone, additional ways to stay connected in Messages, the biggest-ever redesign on the Photos app, and so much more.

Apple’s iOS is feature-packed with iOS 18, but you’ll have to wait for many key features as they will not arrive this fall with the public release of iOS 18.0, but will instead trickle out with iOS 18 updates over the course of many months spanning well into 2024.

Apple Intelligence’s fall arrival will bring with it a new Siri interface and select new capabilities, but some of the most powerful Siri upgrades will be added some time over the coming year.

Siri abilities coming later include having on-screen awareness of what you’re doing at any given time so that you can say, for example, “Use this as their contact photo” and it will understand the context and perform the action accordingly.

Similarly, Siri’s deeper knowledge of in-app functions and ability to, say, play the podcast that your significant other sent you, won’t arrive until some time in the year ahead.

While the core Apple Intelligence features are set to arrive this fall as part of iOS 18 and more, it’s important to know that Apple is labeling this initial AI release as a beta feature. So expect issues and inconsistencies to get worked out in the weeks and months following the fall release.

MacDailyNews Take: iOS 18 should be codenamed “Vapor” or, at least, “Hurry Up and Wait.” By late spring 2025, iOS 18 should reach its full promise.
