There is a new release from Apple that is iOS 18.1 beta, iPadOS 18. Beta 1, and Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10 for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, respectively, i.e., starting with the first Apple Intelligence features, as reported by the source, Bloomberg.
AI abilities are now available to individuals who create software and those who show interest in Apple devices, where new and upgraded controls include the intelligent voice control, Siri, a new intelligent Mail application that allows smart responses and summaries of the received mails, and the much-loved Photos app that now has the capability of natural language search.
Apple Intelligence allows you to come up with new emojis, review the email before sending it, sum up the articles you read in Safari, sort out the notifications, transcribe the audio content, and minimize distractions on your iPhone and other Apple gadgets. And of course, Siri which you can find in later versions of Apple systems will also incorporate AI to be of more help to you.
Apple intelligence AI features will be available in the iOS 18.1 beta for developers
Currently, the iOS 18.1 developer beta is supporting solely the iPhone 15 Pro as well as iPhone 15 Pro Max. Similarly, the iPadOS 18.1 beta and MacOSX Sequoia 15.1 shall apply only to models running on Apple Silicon M series chips.
However, not all the AI attributes that Apple unveiled during the WWDC will be incorporated within 18. 1. It could be as late as the spring of 2025 before a Siri is developed that can assist with actions within apps and become visible onscreen.
Therefore, even if you don’t own an iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro max you can enroll your device to iOS 18 developer beta to enjoy all other features such as the new redesigned home screen, customized control center, the locked app, and hidden app, the scheduled message, new password manager app, text messages through satellite, and massive redesign of the built-in Photos application.
It eased into AI in June at the WWDC conference by presenting the revamped Siri, AI-based image generation, and a ChatGPT tie-up. Some of these features may not be compatible in a new iPhone 16 bought when they initially are out in the market.
