Apple plans release of iOS 18.1, first Apple Intelligence features on October 28th
Apple Intelligence — the personal intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — combines the power of generative models with personal context to deliver intelligence that’s useful and relevant to the user.
Apple has previously said the first batch of Apple Intelligence features will be arriving in October as part of the iOS 18.1 operating system, but now, thanks to Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman, we have a release date: October 28th.
Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:
That means new iPhone buyers will have to wait a few more weeks to get the most hyped component of their devices. I’m told that Apple is taking its time with the rollout to ensure that major bugs are eliminated and it can support all the new traffic on its AI cloud servers.
As I’ve discussed previously, the first version of Apple Intelligence will include things like notification summaries, while subsequent updates like iOS 18.2 will add ChatGPT integration and support for Genmoji custom emoji. In March, iOS 18.4 will include many of the upgrades to the Siri digital assistant, including its ability to control applications more precisely and tap into personal information to answer queries. Other new features coming after iOS 18.1 include automated email filing in the mail app, plus an Image Playground app for creating custom images.
MacDailyNews Take: Slowly, the Apple Intelligence vaporware begins to condense and solidify.
