Apple’s AI features to arrive in October:
Meanwhile, a recent report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman revealed that Apple’s new AI features, dubbed Apple Intelligence, will not arrive with the iOS 18 update out of the box. Instead, the company will release these features via the iOS 18.1 update in October. Even then, some of the biggest AI updates, like ChatGPT integration, Genmoji, and more, are not expected to arrive until later in the year or early next year.
Notably, AI is among Apple’s biggest selling points in the iOS 18 update, and if the report is true, then the tech giant is clearly taking a stand against waiting for the software to be ready before making the hardware accessible.
In the past, Apple has delayed iPhone launches because its software features weren’t ready yet. For instance, the Cupertino-based tech giant delayed the iPhone 4s launch to October that year because the new Siri and iCloud weren’t ready until the June launch date.
