Despite a range of major ‚Apple Intelligence‘ advancements being released by the company at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024, users may have to wait for the full roll out extending uptil as late as next year.
During the conference, Apple had mentioned that the services of Apple Intelligence would be effective largely from the fall of 2024 and ending in 2025.
A reported reason for this has been to avoid the „pitfalls“ that have been faced by other AI systems following their releases. The WWDC 2024 therefore only provided a roadmap for the AI’s full phased release.
The reasons:
Though Apple Intelligence’s features were announced in totality at the WWDC 2024 , their release dates are expected to be spread over a period of months to a year. Some reported reasons and benefits of the phased release as highlighted by Mark Gurman at Bloomberg included:
Staffing allocation: The staggered roll out can make optimum use of Apple’s engineers focussing on certain features first and then moving them on to the next set.
American English launch: By focussing on a one language model- American English, the company can buy time to devote to training AI models in other global languages more effectively.
