iOS 18.1 beta 1 includes waitlist system for Apple Intelligence access
Today Apple released developer beta 1 for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. The update is only available on devices compatible with Apple Intelligence.
Once you install the update, however, you won’t have Apple Intelligence features right away. Instead, Apple is using a waitlist system to grant access to its AI features.
