According to Fast Technology on July 29, industry insider Mark Gurman revealed that Apple Intelligence has been postponed to October and will be first launched on iOS 18.1. This means that the iPhone 16 unveiled in September will not be pre-installed with Apple Intelligence.

It is reported that Apple will push the iOS 18.1 beta version to developers as early as this week, and the Apple Intelligence beta version will also be launched simultaneously.


Mark Gurman said that Apple and developers need sufficient testing time to optimize Apple Intelligence, so the official version of iOS 18 launched in September will not be able to experience Apple Intelligence.

In addition, even after Apple Intelligence goes online in October, users will not be able to experience all AI functions. For example, Siri, which has a complete intelligent experience, will not be launched until the first half of 2025.

According to the information, Apple Intelligence runs through the three major systems of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, and brings many new features to them.

The large model built into Apple Intelligence can deeply understand the meaning of language. For example, when you write something on iPad, Apple Intelligence can help you rewrite, proofread, extract text summaries, or assist you in writing articles, refine your ideas and share them with others.

This language understanding capability supports emails, notes, Safari browser, Pages, Keynote presentations, and third-party apps.

According to the plan, some functions of Apple Intelligence will be open to users in October, and the full version will not be launched until 2025.
