Apple finally tells us when the Intelligence or AI features will be coming to select iPhone users this month. The company has been working diligently to get the new iPhones up and running with the promised AI support but we’re yet to see that materialise. However, a new report finally gives us a date when the iOS 18.
1 update with the AI features will be rolling out for all the eligible iPhone models. Apple is expected to bring a host of new features with the iOS 18.1 update but the focus is clearly on making the Apple Intelligence tools work seamlessly from day one of the release, which is likely to happen on October 28 less than a week from now.
The other big change for iPhone users with the iOS 18.1 update could be linked to their AirPods Pro 2 version which will get the highly-talked about hearing aids feature which has now been clinically approved. The Apple Intelligence tools will be introduced on all the latest iPhone models, including the non-Pro variants and the older Pro version from 2023.
iOS 18.1 marks Apple’s full-fledged entry into the AI race and is being tipped to be its biggest update in years, with Siri getting an AI overhaul to finally make it reliable and useful for millions. Apple Intelligence Coming To These iPhones – iPhone 15 Pro – iPhone 15 Pro Max – iPhone 16 – iPhone 16 Plus – iPhone 16 Pro – iPhone 16 Pro Max Apple’s AI focus might be tilted towards the premium devices as it looks to continue with its supposed premiumisation of the iPhone lineup in the market.
Bringing the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus into the AI mix is vital as it allows those using the iPhone 15/15 Plus or even the older iPhone 14/14 Mini models to consider buying the regular variants rather than spending big on the old and new iPhone Pro models. Apple Intelligence features will only work in the US English settings for now, and people in India will have to wait till early 2025 to get their local support for these features and the new Siri..
