Apple Reveals “Apple Intelligence” in Developer Betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1

Apple has introduced its anticipated artificial intelligence features under the label “Apple Intelligence” through developer betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1.

These updates, although not the full release expected later in the year, offer an early preview of Apple’s AI capabilities to a select group of developers. This move is part of Apple’s strategy to gradually roll out their AI features and gather feedback before the official launch.

To access these new features, developers with Apple accounts must update their devices and navigate to the Apple Intelligence settings to join a waitlist. The approval process is typically swift, taking only a few hours.

It’s important for users to have the latest devices, such as the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max for iOS 18.1, or an iPad or Mac with an M1 chip or newer for iPadOS 18.1. Additionally, devices must be set to US English to utilize these features.

The developer beta introduces a range of new tools, including advanced writing capabilities for proofreading, rewriting, and summarizing text. Users can also create Memories in a revamped Photos app and transcribe live calls or audio in the Phone and Notes apps, respectively.

Siri’s enhancements include new visual elements, the option to type commands, and improved understanding of interrupted or stuttered speech.

Certain features, however, are still unavailable in this beta. These include Genmoji, Image Playground, ChatGPT integration, Cleanup in Photos, and personalized Siri actions.

These features are expected to be rolled out in future updates, with a full general release of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia anticipated later in the year, and Apple Intelligence functionalities expected to be fully available in 2024.

An update on July 29, 2024, has provided additional details on the available Apple Intelligence features and the necessary language settings. This update highlights the ongoing developments and sets expectations for the upcoming releases as Apple continues to refine and expand its AI capabilities.
