Apple’s AI integration for iPhone and iPad, dubbed Apple Intelligence, is delayed until October 2024, with a full launch expected in early 2025. Developers will access beta versions of iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 this week.
Initial features include advanced text editing, email management, and priority notifications, but only iPhone 15 Pro and newer models will be compatible. A subscription model may be introduced later.
This strategic delay allows Apple to refine the technology, ensuring a smoother user experience and positioning the company for long-term success in AI and its applications.
